PWAs are the next step in mobile Web, for most forms over data apps, it isn't really needed.

When I came back to Web/Distributed Systems after my stint dealing with Windows desktop, all the applications I have been involved only had Web frontends, including for mobile devices, not Web views, the actual browser.

They managed perfectly fine.

For subscription app may be, but all ads revenue websites will reject it.

There are many types of applications out there besides ads.

"ad-driven websites" and PWAs aren't targeting the same user. Even if they were, there's nothing stopping a PWA developer from adding a Google Ads script to the markup.

Wouldn't that be the opposite? Subscriptions through the App stores, ads as PWA?
