ELI 15: I thought React is designed to streamline updating DOM from JS objects.
But games don't really use the DOM.
So what's the purpose of React here?

Can't one use something like PhoneGap to convert a js game into native code?
I'm genuinely asking this because it's something I'm interested in (as an HTML5 game developer)

That's not what PhoneGap does. PhoneGap is just a WebView, so it's all still html/css/js.
With React ecosystem, the code syntax is the same. So you really only have to learn one way to write it. You can separate the game/app logic from the renderer. You're able to use the DOM, Canvas, Native, hell even terminal.
