Another factor is design.

A lot of companies go to React Native, etc, because they want one single non-native design on both platforms.

Which IMO can be a mistake most of the time, especially from the POV of a user.

most users can’t even use their phones properly

it is always the nerds (i’m a nerd, but also run a company and led teams before at a unicorn that IPOd) who obsess over things that normal people would probably not even come to given 100 years

case in point: even some of apples own apps don’t follow their design language.

also some of the most popular apps in the world like tiktok or x don’t use ios glass.

my bank app doesn’t use it and opts for a single theme across platforms.

and you know what? i don’t give a fuck. i just want my money transferred properly, my memes consumed on demand, and that’s about it.
