react-native-web-as-pwa-substrate-is-antipattern

Using Expo/React Native Web as a PWA foundation results in 50+ Expo dependencies, a 434KB lockfile, and significantly slower bundles compared to native web stacks (Next.js/Remix/SvelteKit). The RN-web approach gives worst-of-both-worlds: neither the performance of true native nor the simplicity of a web stack. Any PWA should be built on a web-native framework from the start.
