Assuming the best platform for an app was even something that you could objectively determine, why would you expect a solo developer to write an app in a platform that isn't the best for them?

To write something that's best for the customer, of course. The goal of development shouldn't be to build something that's easy for the developer but suboptimal for the customer.

This isn't open source, and the implication is that they plan on selling it. If so, then what's best for the customer should be paramount.
