Those are not quite the same however. Those actually render the HTML / CSS / JavaScript in an web view of sorts but React Native actually uses the real, native components under the hood.

React is an abstraction on top of the underlying APIs (in the case of ReactDOM that's the JS API for the DOM, in the case of React Native that's JS wrappers around the native APIs). Cordova and Electron (and nwjs) are just ways to bundle apps running in a stripped down browser rendering HTML and CSS.
