There's a lot of abstraction needed for a unified app platform, as a lot of it is communication with hardware layers.
It'll probably end up like Flutter at best. But there's a lot of code that people haven't wrote, and both mobile platforms are changing fast enough that there will continually be more code. To expect a solid unified platform is to expect no further changes on the native layers. Something like a new method for exif would still be quick to port over, but a change like scoped storage means older code would have to be rewritten. On top of that, there's a lot of undocumented behavior when you go deep enough, and the problem becomes squared with an abstraction layer.
It's not impossible, but it's a variation of low code, with all the ups and down.
I would like to see more declarative programming though. I think GPT-3's prompt engineering sets a good example of what could be. We're still thinking like machines, except machines will be thinking like children in the future.
