I think there's a lot of proof that it does work, given there's 300,000 Ionic apps, tons in production.
I downvoted you not because I don't agree that Native will be compelling but because I hate to see all this hate that's come out against hybrid apps in general that's even been propagated by React Native devs.
Webviews will get there. WKWebView is already a huge step forward. I think Native is great, but it's not a clear winner in many cases. I even like "learn once apply everywhere" (though it doesn't really go against the web in any way), but I would say the mountain of hybrid apps out there actually disprove that it "just doesn't work".
