Using Rust/wasm for a mobile apps sounds crazier to me than using Electron on desktop. I'm not sure of the details there but the APIs/SDKs bringing consistency is one of the best parts of mobile. There's less of an argument for that on desktop which moves slower and is mouse/keyboard instead of complex set of touch workflows, paging, and notification schemes.
