Offline support and push notifications require service workers (or some other API that doesn't exist yet[1])

And for prompting installation, I think the author wants it to appear native.

(Apple does have their own notification API but it requires an account).

Telling your users how to add your app to the home screen should not be a thing. It makes your product look unprofessional. Prompting a user who has used the web app a bunch of times should be a thing on iOS like it is on Android.
