That's far from obvious. Good cache control and offline usage are great for battery usage.

Wrong, Safari supports them. What Apple doesn't do well is enabling webapps that you pin to your homescreen ("PWAs") to work (they allow it, but from what I hear it's buggy and has weird restrictions), because they'd rather force you to make a native app.

You can have good cache control with HTTP headers, no need to run scripts on the client for that.
