PWAs definitely exist for smaller apps, companies with smaller development budgets, and internal usage. Maintaining teams of mobile devs for apps that may have a couple hundred users is a waste of money when your perfectly capable web devs can learn to use Cordova or similar platforms. Thing is, doing web development is _freaking_ hard. Learning the quirks of different mobile browsers, and dealing with Apple purposely slowing down Safari development to make it an unappealing platoform for web devs, makes thigs pretty difficult. But even without those things, just making a regular SPA that can downscale well and play around with different browsers is still a huge challenge. Whenever my frontend dev friends complain about the ridiculous bugs they have to deal with I just wince. Comparatively speaking, backend development is just way more consistent and predictable.
