Unfortunately agreed. Browser sandboxing is usually quite a lot better than apps. The table they provide is rather biased though, many of the things they show in PWA's favor are only true in the most trivial sense, and are easily worked around, both technically and widely used in practice.

Also browsers can use extensions to modify pages, and that opens up SO many possibilities. And bookmarks. And history. And tabs. And search. Most apps never implement any of these, much less all.

I do wish we had a more widely supported system for push notifications though. WebPush exists and broadly works quite well, but provides nowhere near the control, reliability, and observability that native apps do. ...which is a good thing when you don't want them, but crippling when you do, and it contributes to the general "few sites do it at all" problem. E.g. Slack doesn't use it, nor does Zulip (particularly painful because their mobile web UI is much better than their app), nor most chat apps in general even though they're an ideal scenario.
