Description

In this file, we have a `View`:

https://github.com/AppAndFlow/react-native-safe-area-context/blob/main/src/NativeSafeAreaProvider.web.tsx#L63

However, this was causing headaches with a web project of mine, seeing as the safe area context is provided at the root of a screen via `ExpoRoot`:

https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/fcebecf0d92682f81b50c7f0f1620f8ef9e4ebcb/packages/expo-router/src/ExpoRoot.tsx#L66-L72

And ultimately caused headaches in debugging a web app of mine:

I don't see a reason why we'd need this `View` on web. Could we simply replace it with a `Fragment` instead? I'd be happy to make a PR for this
