NativeScript has a metadata generator whereby platform APIs are up to date at build time (by each individual developer) - this allows anyone at anytime to generate up to date types at their own disposal for any SDK version they are targeting (eg, 'ns typings ios' or 'ns typings android') - no maintainer or third party required. You are in 100% control 100% of the time.

The author is correct here that there are two different technical problems that each address. One important point perhaps is that NativeScript developer can take advantage of Skia inside their app - not sure the same could be said for the inverse.
