Why high-level RealityKit's APIs are only available on visionOS?

RealityView & Model3D only to name some.

On other platforms currently, the only way to deploy RealityKit & or ARKit, is by using either UIKit or UIKit's integration with SwiftUI (UIViewRepresentable).

Are these newer APIs coming to other platforms as well?

Hi, the team is aware of this discrepancy in our APIs between platforms. We can’t talk about timelines for future plans, but we would definitely like to bring our visionOS APIs to iOS and macOS where it makes sense to do so.
