This reads like someone who had already made their mind, and looked for anything to support their prior bias...
For starters, who said RN is not having work done to run on "TVs, smartwatches, thermostats" and so on? Here's a post about work done for smart TVs from the official RN blog:
Second, who said those concerns aren't orthogonal? Given a good modular design work done for the framework to work on a TV should not impact work done for the framework to play well on the Web or mobile.
Didn't know about the RN build for TV stuff, will do some research to check if they have the same vision. If they do, back to square one.
About your second point, I imagine it could be totally orthogonal. But I am especulating that it won't be. At some point there will be design decisions to be made around trade-offs and I'm sure Google's necessity to push "ambient computing" into the world will prevail over any modularity concerns.
But I am especulating that it won't be. At some point there will be design decisions to be made around trade-offs and I'm sure Google's necessity to push "ambient computing" into the world will prevail over any modularity concerns.
Or "ambient computing" is just marketing fluff, and in the end it will just be the same typical set of libs, and APIs and tools as in RN and other such frameworks, just with some extra UI widgets and libs for smaller devices.
