I'm sure the tech is there, but until web developers themselves start supporting mobile better then I don't see PWAs taking over.
Seriously, to this day I open pages that scale horribly on mobile (2x just this morning) and even don't function properly on desktop.
And I am supposed to believe that the same crowd will replace native applications with all that this entails (accessibility, i18n, offline functionality etc)?
Sure, there are plenty of horrible mobile applications as well that do not fulfill these requirements either. But the difference is that those apps never get any usage whereas some of the webpages I have issues with are from big domains that serve massive amounts of content (news, video etc).
If those aren't doing a proper job, then the capabilities of the tech stach won't matter. PWAs will be DoA.
