So your argument would be one of economics? It's now cheaper to produce the same application on web, mobile and others by reusing components, rather than 'handcrafting' the code for each platform.

Is this a common pattern for all of the frontend SPA frameworks? How often does that cross-platform development get used (any idea of percentages per framework?). What's the overhead if any?

Speaking briefly as a user, I find a lot of the desktop versions of SPAs to be resource hogs - Slack, for instance. Is this getting better?
