Developing UI requires understanding users, mobile phones, and the servers they talke to. If you pick up one of these frameworks, and understand all of the periphery, I say it's highly likely you can adapt to the other frameworks.

There's no value in being a master of Flutter, React, or any of the frameworks. It's of value to become a master of mobile development. Understand the ecosystems, understand the users, the needs, the limitations, etc. Understand the mobile's role in a larger service offering: the backend, the website, the emails, the community, the whole service.

Achieving mastery is obviously a high goal, but there are many levels along the way. And all that experience should adapt to new frameworks, new phones, and new devices. Think about that instead of getting trapped in the tool-of-the-day.
