I built a 3D scene creation tool for visual artists as a PWA about 6 years ago. It works great, supports all devices, etc. The only issue I've had with it is that iOS hides the functionality to install it in the "Share" button -> "Add to home screen".

Most regular users aren't aware of PWAs either, and use the App Store as a way of finding apps. We've since released a simple wrapper of the PWA on the App Store as well but had to get really messy to conform to Apple's payment requirements.

If you're curious, here's the tool: https://justsketch.me

Normal people have got to the point they trust app stores a lot more than the web. I know of several startups that were seen as not credible by potential customers due to a lack of app store presence.

Fantastic tool btw!
