can this dramatically reduce cost of mobile app development, esp for small-to-medium businesses?

  We think so. PWAs can alleviate the need to build 4 separate apps: - Web app - Android app - iOS app - Windows app With PWAs, you can build a Progressive Web App, and publish it everywhere. We recognize that this doesn't work for every scenario -- maybe you need to use some non-standard proprietary technology for instance -- but for a majority of apps, it works well and saves you development costs.

      In a lot of ways web apps are more native and a better experience. "Native" apps often bring their own file picker and their own camera control for no good reason. Web apps use the native versions. It's easy to run multiple instances of a web app simultaneously (maybe you need multiple logins or to refer back and forth between different screens). That functionality is likely missing in the native app.
