> So degrade the experience just to make the product team happy?
Which part of "equivalent" did you miss?
You're entirely missing the point. This isn't about product experiences whatsoever. You can ship equivalently delightful experiences in React Native as you can in pure native apps. The point of React Native isn't to make your app more delightful.
The point is to develop it faster, in a more enjoyable manner, and enable one product team to develop for multiple platforms. This is an incredible win organizationally and for developer experience.
