You do realize that you can have one code base and write in C++ right? You don't need a slow framework to have a UI run in multiple places.

Somehow younger generations are allergic to it, you seldom see it listed as alternative for portable busines code, even though it is available out of the box in all mobile SDKs, with first class IDE support alongside the respective upper layer languages on the platforms.

And the amount of time spend writing a bit of glue code, specially on Android, is still less than debugging integration issues in all those Hybrid/Abstration frameworks.

Because they haven't been burned by that cycle yet.
