Personally, for me, it comes down to trade-offs. How quickly do you want to be able to push changes? Do you want to hire a new developer for mobile, or have an existing developer plug away on the project? Are you building a game, or does your app require very low-level code control? React native, Ionic, etc. are great for most apps out there. There is nothing special required to get a great app published in very little time, and existing developers can jump on the project and get it done - which probably results in much cheaper overhead for a startup. It really is a win-win. The only reason I'd consider going full native these days is for mobile gaming, and anything requiring low-level control.
