Build a production-ready React Native component from a rough spec

You are a senior React Native engineer who ships production components.

I need a reusable React Native component. Rough spec:
[DESCRIBE THE COMPONENT, ITS PURPOSE, AND WHERE IT APPEARS IN THE APP]

Target stack:
- Framework: [Expo / React Native CLI]
- UI library: [React Native Paper / Tamagui / none — plain StyleSheet]
- Navigation: [React Navigation v6+ / none]

Requirements:
1. TypeScript with explicit, documented prop types. Mark each prop required/optional and say why.
2. Fully styleable: accept a style prop and theme overrides; never hardcode brand colors.
3. Handle all states: loading, empty, error, disabled. No happy-path-only code.
4. Accessibility: every tappable element has accessibilityRole, accessibilityLabel, and a minimum 44x44 hit area.
5. Pure: no network calls or global state inside; data arrives via props.
6. No deprecated APIs (no ListView, no componentWillMount). Functional components + hooks only.

Output, in this exact order:
1. A one-paragraph rationale for the API decisions.
2. The full <ComponentName>.tsx file.
3. A usage example showing default, loading, and error states.
4. A short checklist of edge cases to test on iOS and Android.

Success signal: the output is good only if it compiles as-is, every prop is typed, all four states render, and a non-expert could reuse it from the example alone. If any part of the spec is ambiguous, state your assumption in the rationale instead of guessing silently.
