> I can only guess, PWAs are like the hidden nugget of gold that devs poop on because it doesn't fit their preferred tools or experience or something.

PWAs also fit in a niche that is difficult for most organizations to digest. It's fundamentally front end tech, but service workers are non-trivial and also are decidedly outside of the typical front end dev's experience. They resemble backend, but the life cycle is somewhat complex and difficult.

Out of the box frameworks can provide basic service workers, but that doesn't make a PWA really shine.

It's a powerful but unusual tool that's slotted into a strange place. They are rarely used even though they can significantly improve user experience without going full PWA.

Been working in back end and front end for years. The number of front end devs I've met in the wild who understand service workers, their use cases, and how to build one, I can count on one hand.
