Honestly, why wouldn't GitHub build a PWA version so the offline experience is fantastic. In fact, that's how Linus built Git. The saga is building app after app is getting ridiculous. It also frees developers to focus on building server-side functionality rather than 3x client app effort (web, iOS, android).

Because PWAs aren't great on iOS. And no, that's not just because you think Safari breaks them.

Why then? Safari straight up refuses to implement tons of PWA functionality. It's Apple being greedy, plain and simple.

Apple does not have his shit together yet on PWA.

Apple is being careful with implementing rushed, poorly specced standards.
