Apple's stronghold affects PWA feasibility on Android too. If I have to write a PWA for Android and a native app for iOS to cover gaps in Safari, why choose a PWA at all?
Apple may be ~50% of the market in the US but it’s ~20% of the market worldwide. On the desktop anyone on any mainstream OS can use Chrome or FF.
Yet someone the total lack of PWA success is 100% Safari’s fault.
Look at all those users I listed above. How are there no common/well known PWAs if they’re so great? People use websites like the Google Suite and Figma and such. They use web apps built as desktop apps in Electron. They use native apps.
Almost no one uses PWAs. Even if Figma or Gmail or whatever is available to be saved as a PWA it doesn’t seem to be commonly done.
There must be some other problem than Safari. It can’t be the big issue.
