If React Native is able to recreate "native" UI on both Android and iOS, just by specifying the UI once in Javascript,
is there any specific reason why Compose Multiplatform wouldn't eventually be able to recreate HTML UI on the Web?

Because the DOM, CSS, and even mixing in JS cannot replicate the capabilities of Compose UI

[jw]

React Native's built-in components baseline all functionality to the least-capable platform which is the web.

If you wanted native UI on each platform you would have to abstract components at a much higher level of abstraction than the hyper-reusable, low-level components of today.

Thanks for the answer, I see what you mean.
In the world of today, where AI is able to understand patterns in a very unseen way, cannot we maybe foresee that Compose-to-HTML compilation will eventually be possible?
