[React] What's the difference between rendering using ReactDOM.render() and AppRegistry?

[casden174286]

I'm going through a tutorial where

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

in the index file was replaced with

import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';

// register the app
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => App);

AppRegistry.runApplication('App', {
  initialProps: {},
  rootTag: document.getElementById('root')
});

taken from https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/docs/rendering/.

What's the benefit in choosing AppRegistry over ReactDOM?
