Yes, but so could x86 Macs: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos
The processor architecture is less of a barrier than the application framework it’s built on (i.e. Cocoa)
(I haven’t used this, but I have used React Native on mobile and web)

#5From their blog post about Apple Silicon[1]
> In the future, we will release a package that allows you to "merge" your arm64 and x64 apps into a single universal binary, but it's worth noting that this binary would be huge and probably isn't ideal for shipping to users.
It seems like things are going to get a bit confusing with Electron apps, and with the number of Electron apps that exist, this transition might not be as transparent as Apple might have hoped.

#6I hope applications like Teams, Discord, and others that have iOS / iPadOS apps allow users to use those rather than electron versions.

Why would Electron run anymore or less natively with this change?

Because developers use Mac, and they’re doing a complete transition. Majority of Windows installations are still on x86.
