Nice points, and yeah I think the same. Ecosystems are really important when deciding on a framework, and when one has the biggest ecosystem, it's normal for people to lean towards that framework. And in return more people add to that ecosystem, making it even bigger and so on.

I think it is starting to get into the same position that I think React is in. It has a much larger ecosystem (the web), but other frameworks like Flutter offer better performance and DX

Great way to put it, in terms of ecosystem Ionic and web based frameworks have the lead there, but in terms of DX things like Flutter are way ahead. For now at least, and hopefully the competition learns from them. (Flutter did, they mention React many times in the technical docs, using it as an inspiration on how to do and how to not do things, taking the best and learning from the worst part of it)
