I'm assuming (or at least hoping) this isn't an unpopular opinion so much as a usually silent one. The actual tech behind the PWA hype is nice/neat, but hardly puts them on par with mobile apps. It's the old "necessary but not sufficient" distinction, which people find so easy to ignore. If you really support the vision of PWAs, you should be busily tamping down the hype, because promising a lot more than can be delivered will likely kill PWAs before the vision can be realized. Notice the article linked to this post is a hype piece by someone offering PWA consulting services. It's not hard to see why he's sold.
