Some APIs need to be locked behind “add to home screen” starting with the notifications api.
Off topic: I don't know if the situation is better on Android but my biggest pet peeve currently is being bounced into an app instead of the web version of the same page. Like clicking on an IMDB link in google results or a Steam link (often comments, like when I'm trying to figure out if something is a bug while playing on a console). I know the workaround for this (long-press link, open in new tab, or delete the app) but on the other side of that coin sometimes I get sent to the Amazon webpage but I want to bounce to the app where I'm logged in and the UI is better (IMHO) but I've yet to find a good way to do that (maybe "share" the page to the Amazon app? I've never tried).
