I agree with you, but man oh man I have not had a good time with react native. We made a tiny little mobile application in it, and due to various libraries exploding with every minor release, I wound up spending hours upgrading and patching and screwing around whenever we needed to add some tiny feature, which inevitably required some kind of update. I don't know if I just got unlucky with my choice of packages, but it's soured me to the whole platform.
