RE Android, are you saying that React Native Android is still bad? If so, why hasn't it been improved?

It's less that it's bad (in my opinion) and more that on Android you have a much wider range of hardware to support ranging from quite new and recent, to basically ancient almost flip phone level.

I am hoping that in the future something like React Fiber (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV1271hd9ew) will make its way to React Native and unlock a new level of performance.

It's also limited by the single-core performance in Android phones, which IIRC is far behind Apple's chips.
