I see, thanks for getting into details.

I guess, if you are one-man team RN makes good sense since you don't have time to write native for 2 platforms from the beginning. If your app takes off, then switch to native for scaling. Is it possible to partly switch from RN to native? something like convert components one by one to native components, while still running RN for some parts?

Why not use Xamarin's stuff to do it all in C# instead then?

Xamarin is a good choice indeed. Their constant work to create native mapping is very impressive.

Because Xamarin and all the other cross-platform libraries are as bad or much worse.

Most apps don't need native performance, and most that do only need it in a single component. Really good software architects and devs know where a framework like RN is valuable.

Yes, that is certainly possible. It doesn’t have to be 100% either way, you could do any combination of React Native and proper Native you want.
