I find opening in a standalone app to be a far worse experience than a web page. PWAs seem like such a downgrade to me: no url bar, no forward/back, no bookmarks, usually no tabs or maybe limited tabs, extension buttons & awesome bar are gone...
PWAs recreate a modality that offers less. I would rather have the affordances of a user ahent available.
As a user, I wish my user agent would let me un-standalone PWAs & bring them back to the web. Especially as we start to create permissions like Direct Sockets which are gated on PWAs.
