>Seems doubtful to me. Native apps just tend to feel better.
That may have being true a few years ago, but now days unless you are really pushing for very specific stuff GPU stuff. With CSS GPU acceleration its barely noticeable for normal UIs. Now there are tons and tons of PWA that is done in a very in efficient way, then you get a really laggy app.
If the theory is that if you do everything perfectly, you can reach the performance of a mediocre native app, then obviously most PWAs are going to suck and opinions will form accordingly.
You don't have to do everything perfectly. Both web apps and "native" apps will be similarly affected by a dev who is terrible at coding. Most people use web apps every day and are not even aware that they are using web apps. Some special interest groups are just very persistent in perpetuating falsehoods and myths in this matter.
>Seems doubtful to me. Native apps just tend to feel better.
I'm really tired of hearing this quite frankly, because the reasons as to why that happens to be the case in some scenarios is not "just" a coincidence, which has been explained ad nauseam.
>This scorecard says that Chrome for Android already does pretty well, but how many users use PWAs on Android?
While I've not seen any stats, I personally use them where possible. Interestingly, my boomer Dad, who is completely clueless when it comes to technology, independently discovered them. He has no idea what a "PWA" is, but he always asks me to "make this website an app for me".
That would be the interesting thing for an EU regulation to try to cover, maybe more than the app store regs. PWAs are just websites, so Apple can't really make same security argument, right?

That would be a nicer world.
