Ask HN: Why was React Native recommended to me? Not seeing benefits

Ive programmed in 8+ languages, and up to this point Javascript was unused.

It was recommended to use javascript and react/react native so I only needed to program once.

However, seeing the differences between react and react native, this seems overstated.

What were the other benefits? I thought there was already built components/libraries I could drop in for data management. Maybe its bad googling, but I feel like react-native is like any other app I'm building from scratch.

Looking for any recommendations to get a intermediate programmer going?
