In defense of PWA, specifically the value of offline-availability:
> You can’t call Uber while being offline, and why would you open Uber app otherwise?
To see my journey history. Uber has this data. It's my data, why shouldn't it be on my device too?
> Tinder is useless offline. You can’t date empty chat screens.
I could look at my messages offline, if they were saved on the device.
> You can’t join a meetup at Meetup.com without network connection.
But I could look at my calendar and see upcoming stuff for the days ahead, see past events, my message history, and profiles for my groups.
All this stuff loading from a local cache could improve speed. But that's just a bonus.
