> By far the thing that prevented PWAs from bigger uptake earlier was Apple dragging their feet on push notifications

For me, it was developers trying to push Android design language via PWAs. In others, it was what should have been a website being packaged as a PWA, which is just clunky. That combination made PWAs feel cheap compared to native apps or sites.

What website uses the Android design language? Every website wants to look different, to stand out. A design language can only exist if it's enforced by an app store.

What does a website packaged as a PWA mean? A PWA is a website.

PWAs are cheap compared to native apps. That's the whole point.
