I really wish PWAs got more adoption and more features added to safely interact with host OS...

Idk PWAs kinda suck and are not natively supported by non-chrome based browsers. I'd rather have real software instead of repackaged web content.

What do you mean not natively supported? Firefox installs them just fine.

Since when? I recall having to install an extension to do it which requires it's own separate binary to perform the install.

Browser support: Firefox and Safari do not support installing PWAs on any desktop operating systems. See Installing sites as apps, below. Chrome and Edge support installing PWAs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Chromebooks.

Not desktop, that's probably the difference.
