When did google hijack the PWA term? https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/ https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/ It used to just mean you would build on standard html features so your app would fallback to it and still work if your crazy new JS driven input type didn't work the way you expected, and for accessibility purposes. I don't see either of those goals mentioned.
