Text and PlaceHolder stop working? is this intended on Custom Control based handlers?

So initially while I was creating my Custom Control I was facing an issue where the handlers were not calling the CreatePlatform method, I was able to solve that with some help from you guys more information: MAUI CreatePlatformView is never called?

But ever since I have done that it seems that a lot of properties of my Editor have stopped working which is really weird since they should by default get wired from the existing MAUI control.

Here is the relevant code:

Shared code handler:

using System;
   using Microsoft.Maui.Handlers;
   #if ANDROID
   using NativeView = AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget.AppCompatEditText;
   #endif
   #if IOS
   using NativeView = UIKit.UITextView;
   #endif


 public partial class FreakyEditorHandler : ViewHandler<IFreakyEditor, NativeView>
    {
        #region ctor 

    public static CommandMapper<IFreakyEditor, FreakyEditorHandler> CommandMapper = new(ViewCommandMapper);


    public FreakyEditorHandler() : base(FreakyEditorMapper)
    {

    }

    public FreakyEditorHandler(IPropertyMapper pmapper, CommandMapper cmapper = null)
        : base(pmapper ?? FreakyEditorMapper, cmapper ?? CommandMapper)
    {

    }


    #endregion

    #region Mappers

    public static IPropertyMapper<IFreakyEditor, FreakyEditorHandler> FreakyEditorMapper = new PropertyMapper<IFreakyEditor, FreakyEditorHandler>(ViewMapper)
    {
        [nameof(IFreakyEditor.HasUnderline)] = MapHasUnderlineWithColor,
        [nameof(IFreakyEditor.UnderlineColor)] = MapHasUnderlineWithColor
    };

    public static void MapHasUnderlineWithColor(FreakyEditorHandler handler, IFreakyEditor entry)
    {
        handler.HandleNativeHasUnderline(entry.HasUnderline, entry.UnderlineColor);
    }

    #endregion

    protected override void ConnectHandler(NativeView platformView)
    {
        base.ConnectHandler(platformView);
    }

    protected override void DisconnectHandler(NativeView platformView)
    {
        base.DisconnectHandler(platformView);
    }
}

My Native Handlers are as follows:

Android:

using System;
using Android.Content.Res;
using Android.Graphics;
using Android.Graphics.Drawables;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Views.InputMethods;
using Android.Widget;
using AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget;
using AndroidX.Core.Content;
using AndroidX.Core.Content.Resources;
using AndroidX.Core.Graphics;
using AndroidX.Core.View;
using Microsoft.Maui.Handlers;
using Color = Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Color;

namespace MAUI.FreakyControls
{
    public partial class FreakyEditorHandler
    {
        protected override AppCompatEditText CreatePlatformView()
        {
            var _nativeView = new AppCompatEditText(Context)
            {
                ImeOptions = ImeAction.Done,
                Gravity = GravityFlags.Top,
                TextAlignment = Android.Views.TextAlignment.ViewStart,
            };
            _nativeView.SetSingleLine(false);
            _nativeView.SetHorizontallyScrolling(false);
            return _nativeView;
        }


        private void HandleNativeHasUnderline(bool hasUnderline, Color underlineColor)
        {
            ColorStateList colorStateList;
            var AndroidColor = underlineColor.ToNativeColor();
            colorStateList = ColorStateList.ValueOf(hasUnderline ? AndroidColor : Android.Graphics.Color.Transparent);
            ViewCompat.SetBackgroundTintList(PlatformView, colorStateList);
            //colorFilter = hasUnderline ? ContextCompat.GetColor(this, AndroidColor, PorterDuff.Mode.SrcAtop);
            //BlendModeColorFilterCompat.CreateBlendModeColorFilterCompat(
            //   AndroidColor, BlendModeCompat.SrcAtop) :
            //BlendModeColorFilterCompat.CreateBlendModeColorFilterCompat(
            //   Android.Graphics.Color.Transparent, BlendModeCompat.SrcAtop);
            //PlatformView.Background?.SetColorFilter(colorFilter);
        }
    }
}

iOS :

using System;
using CoreGraphics;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls;
using Microsoft.Maui.Handlers;
using Microsoft.Maui.Platform;
using UIKit;
using CoreAnimation;
using static MAUI.FreakyControls.Platforms.iOS.NativeExtensions;

namespace MAUI.FreakyControls
{
    public partial class FreakyEditorHandler 
    {
        CALayer bottomline;

        protected override UITextView CreatePlatformView()
        {
            var _nativeView = new UITextView();
            return _nativeView;
        }

        private void HandleNativeHasUnderline(bool hasUnderline, Color color)
        {
            if (hasUnderline)
            {
                var uiColor = color.ToNativeColor();
                bottomline = BottomLineDrawer(uiColor);
                bottomline.Frame = new CGRect(x: 0, y: PlatformView.Frame.Size.Height - 5,
                    width: PlatformView.Frame.Size.Width, height: 1);
                PlatformView.Layer.AddSublayer(bottomline);
                PlatformView.Layer.MasksToBounds = true;
            }
            else
            {
                bottomline?.RemoveFromSuperLayer();
            }
        }
    }
}

Handler registration :

handlers.AddHandler(typeof(FreakyEditor), typeof(FreakyEditorHandler));
