I will always choose a better quality app if its available, the problem is if you have a bunch of low cost shitty applications then no one creating actually good apps can compete on price. At that point the only option is for good apps to be astronomically expensive, or every app becomes another shitty PWA that doesn't work well at all.
My honest impression is that the entire "PWAs are good" are basically the crowd that make cheap apps discovering a way to sell to Mac users without having to actually make quality software. Any time I encounter a PWA or a chrome wrapper "native" app it's just another chance to experience an app that can't do basic things like "find" correctly.
The entire argument for PWAs is "it's cheaper". I have not once seen a "it results in a better UX or app".
