The article doesn't seem to explain specifically why RN didn't work for them but I believe that the real pain for them is to organize 100 engineers to work on the same project.
Often they were confused about native vs RN approach and had to write native libraries and integrated them with RN which requires 3 different teams to write & test and integrate their code. I can see that if one of the teams is either slow or run into strange bugs, they will be the bottleneck and slow down all of them.
From this perspective, similar to why Netflix or other large organization choose micro-services rather than monoliths, it would be better for Airbnb to develop 2 different native apps separately rather than having 3 different teams depending on each other.
