An installed PWA should be able to do all the same things an installed app should do. The general web should not, and no one is arguing for that.

Parent comment is talking about PWA APIs that only show up when the PWA is added to the Home Screen, not via safari.

Is there any good that can come from a dipshit mobile product manager being able to make your phone vibrate on an app? Is there actually a meaningful difference?
