>There is always some complaint about Safari instead.

when one app is used by roughly half of all mobile users, that's not something you can ignore. so complaining about that one app when these conversations come up does not seem out of place. essentially, the conversation is something like:

- PWAs are great!

-- How well do they run on Safari?

- PWAs are great on other platforms.

-- So about half of mobile users? Doesn't seem that great to me

Safari is used by half of US users. Worldwide it’s closer to 20%. And the desktop is totally open.

I’m not saying I expect PWAs to be huge, but it seems like they should be more notable PWAs if people really wanted them so bad.

meh, semantics. the point is that there's a large enough audience that it doesn't add up to making sense for dev time.
