I really wish PWAs were more well-known among average users. If people knew and expected they could install certain websites as apps, that would simplify things so much and really balance the power of the app stores.
But of course...

So you can't have an install prompt, but it's still pretty easy. If people can learn hamburger menus they can learn this.
On mobile it's rare for apps other than web browsers to allow multiple tabs/windows and the ones that do (Ex: Gmail allows a draft to be a second window) have many multi window related bugs.
One more reason I'd rather have a site than an app: because I can open multiple copies, open a link in a new tab, open different installations of the same site, and all the other things that browsers automatically support.
