This is the thing most people confuse about React. The similarity you see is React, the differences are the implementation for that platform. The elements, styling, and interaction listening is React for Web. The equivalent of the above in React Native is... React for native. Remove all that stuff specific to each platform. What is left is React. Honestly React could be considered it's own design pattern [or a renaming of existing], with fb/ReactJS and fb/ReactNative being the most well known implementations.
