I think we'll also see an influx of great Mac apps as lots of engineering talent is currently trained to use UIKit (iOS).

  Agreed, and also encourage development of desktop counterparts to popular mobile apps - if you can keep the vast majority of your business logic and middle-layers (and largely just have to implement new UI), that's a huge load off of dev teams. I'm thinking things like a FB Messenger desktop app - certainly a lot easier to implement. And hopefully even move some players away from the ever-popular not-quite-native desktop apps (looking at you, Slack and Spotify) towards more actually-native UIs.

That’s the dream, but I’m not optimistic. More than likely they’ll just add another target to their Electron/React app and call it a day.

      Spotify on iOS isn't native either, isn't it?

    Off topic, but there is a native app for FB Messenger available: https://fbmacmessenger.rsms.me/ https://fbmacmessenger.rsms.me/ . It’s great!

        True, I didn't realize it was a fancy wrapper.
