None of what you wrote is remotely true, except for the "targets one platform" remark. Swift is very much superior to JavaScript, has better safety and expressiveness, far fewer gotchas, and has vastly better library support on iOS (how do you do Metal or AVFoundation in JS?) An ObjC developer will master Swift much more quickly than a web programmer will master React Native, which also requires understanding UIKit, so there is no hiring benefit. Yes, React Native is a path to cross platform, but high quality cross platform apps need OS-specific interfaces anyways. So what do you save?
