AFAIK, React is a Single-Page Web Application that refreshes everytime something changes. It's benefits are fast load times and lower overhead because it ONLY updates things that are changed on re-render, but the downsides are that it relies on other libraries for things like multiple pages, etc.

So for it to be a Windows System application, yes that's fucking attrocious. Did you ever hear how angry people were about the Warcraft 3 update that added a bunch of webapp nonsense and bricked a lot of people's old copies? Well, that's basically what Windows 11 did.

I'm confused though. The op says "react native", but AFAIK, react native is a mobile app framework.

Does it work/deploy on desktop now?

Yes, there's support for compiling React Native to UWP apps for Windows. No, I don't know why anyone thought that was a good idea.
