A pretty good summary was posted here the other day:

The install experience with PWAs is still shite. Also, the last time I checked, every browser puts the apps in a different folder on desktops, and there's no central screen that shows you ever PWA you have installed. It's hard to even find them later.
For example, on the Mac, the PWA on the above page doesn't install at all with Brave in the default configuration. There's not even an error message. Safari installs it to the Dock, not the "home screen", and so on.
PWAs are cool as hell, but the whole install process needs to be thrown away and rewritten from scratch.
