I don't think so, if RN or similar is a viable option then it makes far more sense than juggling large Java and Swift implementations of the same app.

Or the alternative is not to have run bloated cross platform apps and run native apps....

Why would you think React Native would be less bloated than native apps?

I don't think it would be less bloated, it's impossible for a layer on top of native to be less bloated. That's not to say it couldn't be efficient, and efficiency in development time is the key factor. It can be a nightmare to manage apps across different platforms, frameworks and languages. RN could be massively improved, but the concept is a godsend.

I will gladly write 10x Swift thatn RN. That said it is usually less code, because you don't have to reinvent thnings.
