Facebook didn't abandon the virtual DOM approach with React Native, nor do they look at web as a second-class citizen. Rather React's approach could also be applied to native development, (wrapping the native stateful view hierarchy in a declarative model, which just happened to be in JavaScript) so that's what they did. Angular is playing catch-up by adopting a similar rendering model. This will be to everyone's benefit. Google is also pushing Polymer, but that's not really related to the other two.
