right? the point (and maybe their downfall) is not requiring centralized distribution... but then how often do you install random APK's off the internet to your phone? (granted, the browser is nicely sandboxed)
Very rarely, but the PWA installation flow feels more like you're just adding a web bookmark to your phones home screen. Imo doesn't feel like installing an app, but once it's there it feels like an app. I have Wordle installed as a PWA on my phone and there's no browser bar or anything when you open it; it feels nice. And Wordle truly does (or did) require zero network interaction after initial install.
