Because there's always a limitation. For instance, if I want to go to most websites with Javascript off, they just don't work. That's a limitation. Limiting my tech keeps bad actors from abusing it. Frankly, every feature has good and bad uses, and sometimes the bad outweighs the good. For instance, I have no real good use case for a website accessing my location, camera, motion sensors, etc.
Could some apps be developed and served via PWA this way? Sure. But is it far more likely to be used for ad-tech? Also sure.
And I say this as someone who made a PWA and cannot deploy it to my own phone because it needs features that aren't supported. A small price to help wall off bad actors. Even though my PWA is only deployed to machines I control and I am not a bad actor to myself.
