My guess is that indeed the usage is low and people didn't bother to update stats or put more efforts into it. But the real reasons, in my opinion -- On the desktop, PWAs are simply less relevant. People are mostly online, and there is little difference between PWA and a "real" website, so people would just go to the website instead of "installing" it. Most "heavyweight" applications like VSCode, Photoshop and Premier Pro need to be run natively (although many of their features are available in the web version). Google Docs, probably, but otherwise there is very little incentive for using PWAs. On mobile, many of the same points apply, although PWAs have more access to permissions and are often viable replacements to native apps (especially apps that are just websites anyway, like Uber Eats). I think mobile apps would be the ones driving the growth of PWAs. But of course... Apple. Apple doesn't want this ecosystem to grow to take revenue from the app store, and just made it difficult to develop and use PWAs. (There are legitimate concerns over how PWAs are used, but there are also solutions.) As a developer you don't want to spend time developing PWAs that only run on Android phones, so you might not bother at all.
