This is an interesting viewpoint which I agree with to a certain
extent.

For me, the main motivation for making my code cross-platform is to
avoid having all my eggs in one basket.  (The "Apple Basket" in many
cases.)  Diversity, both across platforms and across apps, reduces the
risk of some event beyond my control taking away the income that pays
the rent.

Perhaps the important thing is to at least be aware of your options,
and to know what technologies are cross-platform and which are not.
