I am not dismissing React Native, and saying it is a bad technology, (it is pretty good for a certain type of apps) and it can work for some.

If you see my end note, "to more junior engineers", don't use React Native in your project because X company is using it, and it must be trendy.

Use it only if you do enjoy using it. If you are already good/skilled at building native apps, then you might not need it at all.
