>and Airbnb abandoning it clearly shows that their engineering culture is solid and not driven by cargo cult engineers chasing the latest fad.

Depends on what they pick next (and why they picked RN before in the first place?), but as a standalone decision it's not enough to "clearly show" anything of the sort.

I’m not sure about that. The ability to identify and accept a hard problem, and then do something about it, speaks of good management in their engineering department.

Agreed, it was a (probably too subtle) retort to the idea that them abandoning it clearly meant they’re a dysfunctional mess.
