>They're saying it's difficult to get people to install an app even to test drive them, and saying it's easier to get them to visit your webpage.

But getting people to visit your website being easy does not mean that is where you should host your app. I don't believe people are going to say "Wow this website was useful, let me pin it to my screen." I believe that is a niche thing that nerds do, and has awful results for the rest.

>The claim is that they aren't even downloading apps to test them in the first place.

But there is nothing here to show that a PWA is the solution to get someone to download the app! The assertion is that the download is the issue, which there isn't any evidence for. If downloading apps was such a problem, why would people constantly be test driving apps? They may uninstall because of space or tracking concerns, or maybe it's a cleanliness thing, but I am refuting the base claim that "space on your phone" being a deterrent means that PWA is a solution.

Get the download through marketing, hold the download through value.

>Everyone else is just trying to get you to understand what the OP is actually saying

I think I understand what OP is saying just fine.
