Asking as a noob. How is this any different from the `install as an app` option already present in Edge?

This works for non-PWA's. 'Install as app' is only present for PWA's right?

You also do the 'add to home screen' instead of using this app.

"Install as app" works for any page.

Is the wording 'Install as app' on all pages on edge? Other browsers show 'Install as app' only for PWA and 'add to home screen' for normal websites.

Edge doesn't show 'Install as app' in address bar but if you go to menu > apps there will be 'Install this site as an app'. I'm using apps for Duolingo, Ventusky, Airly, Livescore, Plaza One, Poolside FM. I even tried to make an app for this website and it worked.
