PWA means, in it's best iteration, it is on your machine. the browser is a sandbox and what you're doing is downloading a program.

it's the convergence of Java's "program once, run everywhere"

conceptually, this abstraction is similar to docker or k8: you're fundamentally disconnecting the metal from the OS from the app runner.

it's pretty much a useful abstraction with lots of parallels.

imagine the browser as the final unified app store.
