react-native-web-metro-is-antipattern-for-pwa

Using React Native + Expo rendered via react-native-web + Metro bundler for a PWA is a structural antipattern. It pulls in 50+ Expo dependencies, inflates the lockfile to 434KB+, and produces slower bundles than a native web stack. Web-first PWAs should use Next.js, Remix, or SvelteKit — not RN-web shims. This pattern appears when a mobile-first codebase is repurposed for web without a full rethink.
