Can we close this?

@cortinico I vote for “no close please”, because OP set TextInput in uncontrolled mode by using defaultValue instead of value. So defaultValue is only workaround, not resolution for this issue. I can say that this issue was always here: lost of syncronization between native and JS state of input. To trigger issue before 0.62 we need to have heavy onChangeText callback, but since 0.62 (when TextInput war rewritten to Hooks & view commands replaces setNativeProps) issue araises even with tiny user code.
