PWAs are not much more than webpages, basically just a separate launcher icon and less browser chrome making it look and feel more native. It's in the user's best interest to use these, since they get the good parts of using an app while avoiding full-featured-app junk like persistent background services that constantly monitor you.

How would you like it if HN and every link you followed today from HN started with an "install me" popup?

The point is it's something the user should initiate, and no one else.
