I love this! This is a great presentation for how the download option can be seamless. No more 400mb downloads for apps that could have simply be added to the home screen.
Ideally Apple will forgo the Safari requirement as that means session data, password storage, and meta things like crypto wallets will not be as interoperable.
Very nice!

This will be the most democratizing event of the 21st century. Software should have access to the lowest barrier to entry. There should be no gate keepers especially keepers that charge 30% of all processed fees!
This is the unconscious bias steering towards profit over accessibility. It's not a single person's fault (bureaucracy) but I feel could be changed by a single person (vision/leadership).
This can be improved with good telemetry for the end user to use. In the end a PWA with background tasks will still require permissions that a downloaded app would. It's simply a matter of delivery and accessibility.
Convergence, at last.
