This was one of the experiments with the games I did like https://luduxia.com/reversi/

I never did bother finishing the Android Chrome PWA part, because as others noticed it doesn’t get you much, and users really don’t seem to bother with the iOS one which does work. (iOS has navigator.standalone for detecting this).

iOS is arguably not “real” PWA but these days has equivalent functionality for much of it that is even supposed to work. It is on the todo list this week to get iOS push happening as proof of concept.

By far the biggest problem is lack of user familiarity. The app stores are understood, while the process for installing these is not. You can trivially package such things for the app stores, but then you have to jump through the increasing amount of hoops about that.
