“According to Google’s data, for native apps 80% of time is spent in each users’ top 3 apps. Just 3 apps!“
I also probably spend a large percentage of my time online on a handful of websites. That doesn’t mean the other 20% of my time isn’t incredibly valuable and not worth building an app/website for.
As an advertising company Google have plenty of incentives to push PWAs. Apple, who own the minority hardware platform with the most affluent users, do not. So long as this is the case their will be a strong monetary incentive to build Apps as the PWA experience will always feel a little off.
A non technical point glossed over by this article is the discoverability app stores afford the end user. I see this in person all the time: I tell someone about a new service or online store and the first thing they do is search the App
Store for an app not the web.
In summary I think companies will build PWAs as either a complement to an existing mobile app or as a first product when they don’t have the budget to build an app.
