That did not go well with Clubhouse. Started with iOS only and a year and a half later they added Android support after getting cloned by everyone else. Especially Discord (which is in React Native).
Today, more people use Discord Stages and almost no-one uses Clubhouse, despite Clubhouse being a native app from the start.
That's a good point - if the success of the product relies on a critical mass of adoption (social networks, marketplaces) then missing one platform would exponentially hurt that.
But IMHO for apps where that isn't the case starting with a single platform is a good bet.
