a horde of outsider devs come rushing into the native app space, with little awareness of the nuances of specific platforms and their communities.
The expansion of the industry means that those with little experience vastly outnumber those with plenty, and are highly incentivised to degrade the value of experience. That's why we see the explosion of new "frameworks", if it's only a year old then someone with one year in the industry on paper has as much "experience" as someone with 30. On paper.
That is why hardware gets faster and more reliable every year but software still gets slower and buggier. The HW side has somehow managed to keep this toxic culture in check, and their engineers, with experience on their side, are actually managing to advance their field, while the SW side keeps reinventing the wheel, a little squarer each time.
