OK, I think your main objection is really that you don't like the idea of a cross platform UI toolkit. I don't share that view, but fair enough. But your first comment, complaining about a to-do list example, is a very confusing way of expressing that.

And you think the front page shouldn't show a basic example because you just vibe code everything anyway. That is a very odd objection - it would be very concerning if a code library didn't include a basic usage example on its front page. Also, guess what, some of us do actually write (or at least look at!) some of the code in the programs we work on. And even AI benefits from a clean API.

And your complaint about a to do list is that it's not "impressive"? It's not meant to be! It's a basic illustration of the API. It's like reading the Rust tutorial and objecting, "ugh, another programming language with for loops".

My main argument is that if you want my attention in a world where an AI agent can build me a native iPhone app in 30min, you need to do better than showing me a to do list app in the hero of your landing page. Your comparison doesn't hold at all. This is not a tutorial page called "first steps", it is the first showcase of what is possible with it.

Anyway, it's fine for us to just disagree here. You just sound like someone that likes to argue for the sake of arguing, and just like to do apps, I don't have time for that.
