I don't think it's correct to blame the technology choice on the failure of some apps, as the author does, talking about percentage of revenues and user retention. Every technology has it's own pros and cons and with adequate investment in R&D can be applied to achieve very good UX. More likely, the success rate has business reasons, not technology ones - how the development was organized, what was the business model, how much time did the team spend on UX design etc.
That said, what are the real benefits of PWAs, which by design are not fully compliant with platform best practices? That's the question that I'd like to get an answer to, including the comparison of installation success rates, not just exposure of user failures to install native app.
I myself have chosen Ionic/Cordova as reasonable trade-off between the speed of cross-platform development and quality, but eventually I'd like to convert my app to the native to get the best UX on each platform.
