This was exactly my issue. I have an idea for a phone / tablet app and I really wanted to go with Qt but ~500 euros per month was a no go (for all people involved) I have chosen react native instead. Microsoft has even developed a version for desktop. they also developed ReactXP (xp meaning for x platforms) to have a single source for all platforms (based on react native) and they use it for skype. I would have chosen Qt but the license is just not good. I guess only a free access can make the community growing. I also see that Qt is now more active on embedded system. Maybe the desktop has no market anymore? even Oracle prefers to focus on microservices. after all Qml is javascript based, because it was simpler and more flexible. React Native also has the same principle, except that native components are used at the end. Flutter seems very similar to Qt, except that it compiles to native. I did not like that there is no desktop and that we must instantiate different component for ios or android. and no, I did not choose react native because what-so-ever on javascript, I chose it because of the rationale above, it was a compromise. ps: and if the web is a preferred approach, it is not for all arguments I have read, but for the simplicity of deployment and access control.
