> On a purely technical level the main thing stopping PWA adoption is the JS front end universe being addicted to front end frameworks which destroy the UX of websites and PWAs I would hesitate to conflate PWA adoption with JS framework popularity olympics. On a purely technical level, the only thing stopping you from using a PWA is you. Perhaps you should reconsider your product and business model if it doesn't work without App Store presence. The App Store cannot sell your product for you. At some point you will need to interact with your actual customers if you want to succeed. Having an app "in the store" does not equate to trust for me.

It's not about you, but the users. iOS users do trust Apple as a proxy in the App Store and consequently spend much more there than even Android users do in the Play Store (on a per user basis). The great anomaly to this used to be Amazon where Kindle Fire users used to have even higher ARPUs than iOS, but I've been out of the loop too long to know if this is still the case. Not too long ago I decided to push the limits to see what web apps can do now and did https://luduxia.com/reversi/ https://luduxia.com/reversi/ - there are no UI libs here, the whole thing bundles in under a second with esbuild, and it runs perfectly on iOS Safari.
