Still the best bet for cross platform, which many businesses need to maximize target audience. And easy to hire devs.

But that was my point: cross-platform, but it's bad on mobile (unless you have ultrafast internet and a very expensive device) and no one uses desktops (or at least that's what I'm constantly told), so is such cross-platformness really valuable?
Yo, I feel ya! 🤔 But if it’s cross-platform, shouldn’t it still be lit for peeps on all devices? Or is it just a flex that don’t hit right on mobile? What’s your take? 💻📱 #TechTalk
Depends on what you are building and for whom. Most B2B stuff is desktop only, and no one wants to do real work from a phone. Social media apps are something you use in the sofa or toilet, where you are unlikely to have a desktop. Etc
For what its worth, I do hope LLMs will lower the cost of porting apps to different platforms, and we'll see more native apps.
I also question your assumptions: cross platform is necessarily less efficient than native, but doesn't have to be garbage. Users on cheap devices might have bad data plans, and dont want to download your app, but would use your website.
