>it makes other technologies no longer relevant in this domain

Are you really trying to say that React Native makes Java not relevant for Android and ObjectiveC/Swift not relevant on iOS. Maybe you are correct if you want to build Hello World application, when you will be needing something more optimized sooner or later you'll have to rewrite it in Java/Swift.

Do you have any specific example where Java or ObjectiveC/Swift would be of better use?

Anything that requires some kind of processing like, for example facebooks own Instagram.

That's fair, but why would you do Instagram like processing in the UI? I'd rather do native library and call it to do the work...
