Argues that web apps are smaller, faster, and easier to deliver: Starbucks native app is 146 MB while the PWA is about 2.4% of that and cold starts faster than native; many US adults install zero new apps per month, so acquisition is hard. Points to Service Worker + manifest + HTTP, mentions WebAPK creating APKs on add‑to‑home for Android, cites Twitter Lite, Strava, McDonald’s polymer menus and WebUSB as working examples, and claims PWAs can be indistinguishable from native.
