I don't like Web Apps, but there are a huge class of Apps that doesn't require a Native App to work. Services Sector which already has their Web Platform sorted out, and are only providing an "App" in the App Store. Paying for App Development is expensive, when majority of the functions in these Apps are exactly the same as online. Having PWA meant they could offer an "App" at a ( relatively speaking ) much lower cost.

Example, why would every Restaurant wants to have an Apps of its own?

That is of course assuming PWA for these kind of Apps work close to Native App in performance and usability. Time will tell.

Why would any restaurant have an app?

Javascript in the browser will never be close to a native app as far as CPU, battery, memory, and bandwidth utilization goes. I don't think they will ever work as well with assistive technologies either.
