FlashList is built on top of RecyclerListView. If you look at the package.json you can see that it's a dependency. Because a big company like shopify decided to create FlashList, I imagine they added extra functionality to the RecyclerListView, with the main one I can think of is the easiness of converting a FlatList to a FlashList
