To unlock certain OOT platform capabilities for CLI

Which capabilities?

[thymikee]

@cortinico seamless init integration: react-native-community/cli#2170. It'd consider it a bugfix tbh.

I’m pretty sure this is going to pass “react-native” for RN Windows if we organize like this.

Don’t we already have platforms declared in React Native config to read from?

[thymikee]

@NickGerleman without this change react-native is essentially hardcoded. So it shouldn't break Windows and would help other platforms (visionos, macos, tvos) adopt easier ways to init. We'd love to chat with folks from Microsoft on their valuable experiences and collaborate on a proper solution, I'll schedule something soonish.

@NickGerleman @thymikee RN Windows also has it's name defined in package.json we are reading from: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/blob/f19a9e7e8a40a2fb7086371b3f3a955e15a1d771/vnext/package.json#L2

But even passing react-native will keep the same behaviour as current
