Why's managing background tasks in react native so difficult?

Hello React Native developers! So, According to the official react native docs, the only way to implement background tasks is by using HeadlessJS which only works on android. What's confusing is that popular apps like Instagram, Facebook are built with react native and they definitely handle background tasks on both android and iOS devices pretty well. Since this issue seems resolved, is there a reason why their solution hasn't been released as a package for other react native developers to use and integrate seamlessly into their react native applications. After-all, react native is a product of Facebook and I haven't been able to find a perfectly working solution that works really well on both platforms.
