[iOS] Switch component loses liquid glass effect when parent is not subject to view recycling

Description

Following the discussions in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/54497 and https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens/issues/3392, I was able to reproduce it using a custom native component with view recycling disabled.

I'm opening this issue as a follow-up for further investigation with a reproduction in the reproducer app.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/t0maboro/Repro3392# and use the latest version from main branch
2. Run the application on iOS
3. Navigate forward -> back -> forward
4. Then toggle the Switch component - the liquid glass has disappeared

Start with the mandatory reproducer at github.com/t0maboro/Repro3392 and follow the linked discussions in issues 54497 and react-native-screens 3392. Run the iOS app, reproduce the navigate-forward/back/forward sequence, then toggle Switch and compare the liquid glass effect. Done means the effect remains present when the parent has view recycling disabled.
