A website is obviously something that changes according to third party wishes. I am visiting their domain from my machine using my browser.
Software I decide to install on my machine, is under my control. I could update it, re-install it, delete it, change it.
I don't appreciate this mindset that software is like a "website" that is controlled by someone else. If that's what you want, then that's your preference.

First, there is a huge difference between the software installed on my own computer and websites I visit. Second, I can and regularly do change their looks and the way they work.
I do understand Google in this case and support their decision though. And if someone wants more control, fortunately they can always use Firefox.
Just like all of the websites that you browse, you can't have control over the styles or the updates that someone pushes to their servers, forcing you to download the latest page and install the latest service workers without your permission.
