Garbage take. Having apps as PWAs is better for security, privacy, and doesn't need to be clunky. Websites are clunky when they import massive remote JS libraries instead of just relying more on CSS. No website I've every visited has had a valid reason to be slow, I mean we can literally use a webpage to control a remote VM in real time. Apps get to declare most of their permissions and will often require these unnecessary permissions to use them at all.
