As an Android developer that's been using Compose and multiplatform I believe the play is to get Android developers to be able to minimally adapt their apps to run on iOS. They don't pretend that you don't need to know anything about iOS but are trying to abstract as much (or as little) a way to compile to both.
The other multiplatform attempts failed because they were trying to use languages that neither side wanted or knew and pretended like you could drop in a dev from a completely different field and not need to know much about the platforms. If you did know the platform you were fighting against the framework in an unfamiliar language.
That said it is definitely not there yet, but I hope they get it to a reasonable place. I've enjoyed Android development and would love to be able to more simply port over a project without a complete rewrite.
