If my customers don't really need a Ferrari, then making them pay for one is expensive. Most cars work just fine for most people.

Software is expensive. People resent high rate subscriptions as it is. Including on here. They resent it a lot more than lack of native toolkit. Ironically, price resistance on mobile is at legendary levels.

But so many can't seem to escape the gravity pull of dev strategies that blow up budgets like multiple code bases, micro service backends, etc etc.

Very very few of my customers actually want a Ferrari with the accompanying price tag. They want stuff that is convenient and works, the car is less important than the destination I can take them to. They don't really care about the last 5% percentile UI flexibility that is a native toolkit.
