Microsoft announced at BUILD this year that PWAs would be ingested by the Bing crawler directly into the Windows Store, with tools for sites to opt out or further control their listings (including monetizing them).

The Windows Store has supported server-hosted web apps [1] for some time now, and provides a large subsection of the platform-specific libraries to hosted web apps. Hosted Web Apps are based on earlier drafts of PWA standards, but the expectation from BUILD and other Microsoft talks is that they will bring platform-specific libraries along for the ride as the converge to more recent PWA standards.
