This is happening because in updateProps (in RCTTextInputComponentView) there is setDefaultInputAccessoryView being called.
Basically every time TextInput checks for new props - setDefaultInputAccessoryView is called and that is calling reloadInputViews, which is causing "refocus" of the input.
Not sure how to fix it for now.upd: tried to implement a fix #54551 - it's working but I'm not sure if it's an ideal solution
