So many laypeople that I know don’t even use bookmarks.
I’m a Linux geek with macOS and Windows in the house and I’ve never used a PWA.
I just can’t get excited over this one.. technical, political.. Apple is doing what I’d expect from a company being told how to build and change their product.
And since I don’t want to live in a Dell world running Windows paired to an Android phone of any kind, I personally am inclined to give them a pass on their obstinance. There’s very little in the tech world that runs as cleanly as iOS on an iPhone.
(And yes I’d love to run Linux on my mobile desktop but it’s all really terrible and not even close to a whisper of a starter. And I’ve tried them all.)
Not an Apple apologizer, just ranking them against the performance and quality of the alternatives.

I'm pretty techy and I'm pretty baffled myself. I don't think I've ever even seen anyone else use a PWA, let alone used them myself.
And honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about them. Replacing native apps with web-only cloud services sounds like a bad case of 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'.
I've come to hate what Apple has done to computing, but I'm sceptical that PWAs are the solution here, so I'm struggling to get too fired up about this.
