Times change. Why build an app and have an app store if you can do it with a PWA?
There is only one 'killer app' on my phone - WhatsApp. I need my phone to access that through a PC and therefore need the app.
Years ago I had a lot more apps, nowadays I am 'meh' and never visit the Play Store. Anecdotal, but, as mentioned, PWA has arrived and that means that an app store is not strictly needed like how it was before HTML5 arrived.
