Sure, but more companies have the story of needing a web app anyway which requires a specific tech stack. So you can either maintain two tech stacks or you can port your webapp to native.

Having a beautiful, easy to develop, and easy to maintain native stack means nothing when you don't have an answer to, "How do we then reuse our code in a browser?".

You don't.

Use the browser for what it was meant for, hyperactive documents.

Everything that matters is on the backend accessed via Web APIs.
