I'm perfectly happy to have my app in a pinned tab or bookmark. Do we really need a third kind of bookmark. Why do we need yet another method for installing apps on our desktop.
On a phone I can understand the convenience of saving a bookmark on your home screen, and removing the space consuming address bar, but desktops don't have the same constraints.
I wish they would just make an Electron alternative, but try and do it better. Make it easy to carve out features you don't need to make the process smaller and lighter. Don't need WebGL or Canvas? Don't need audio or video? How small can you make a browser by cutting features?
How cool would it be to visit a website with a bunch of check boxes that allow you to select the features you want for your app runtime, then it compiles an executable for you on demand.
