The major issue here is how the default experience is unpredictable and messy, and restoring/kickstarting a proper development environment takes hours/days instead of minutes, and it breaks quite often if you're
What I would like is predictable builds and isolation. Packaged, versioned and rollback-able development dependencies, like we have with backend/frontend web tools.
Things like Cordova's CLI and Unity's Build Server help halfway with this, but there's more work to be done even with those tools.
What I'm suggesting is that some company could step up and handles this, plus things like CIs, deployment bureaucracy, instant demos of web apps on phones, etc, like someone mentioned above that Expo does for React Native.
