Why do they need to install a PWA?

We do mobile friendly Web UIs, that is enough.

Their customes, employees, go to the respective company website, get a responsive UI for their device, done, the services require to be online anyway.

It’s about convenience in most cases; an “app” to tap on, not a URL to remember and enter or a bookmark to save, name, file, and locate.

Just like apps in general, PWAs are mostly a mobile heavy modality. Bookmarks and the browser is largely still fine on laptop/desktop, but even there you see the app design language start prevailing with things like bookmarks and “recent sites” being presented like app icons.

I swear it is so alien to me. Tapping on an app is equivalent to tapping on a link in my bookmarks.

You could even have a button on website to install an icon on the launcher which goes directly to the site in a webview

The users are asking for an app on the app store, not a PWA.
