This is ad umb question but what is the advantage of AWS Native vs the regular AWS libs?

One is that there are some APIs that may only be available through AWS Native. I recently created some new stuff and used AWS Classic for everything because the example code was better and I ran into some issues the AWS Native resource I tried to use (but I might've been doing something incorrectly).

IIRC AWS Native is built around the newish Cloud Control API rather than the "Classic" AWS API.

Which also means when AWS services introduce new features, the SDK can be generated and you can have the constructs within hours.

The downside is that coverage of Cloud Control API is not 1-to-1 with classic right now, so Native might not be a full-replacement atm, but rather used along side classic.
