Really? What's an app on the Google app store that is really a PWA? And I mean an actual PWA and not a PWA wrapped in an app.

They do need a showcase, but I believe there are several. bubblewrap is an official framework for publishing them but I don't know if you consider that wrapped in an app or not.

If you're on a Chromebook, the default Twitter and YouTube Music install is a PWA.

It is Apple that has had issues with PWA support.
> While WebKit is making progress on PWA support, at the time of this writing, PWAs remain a second-class citizen on iOS. The iOS App Store’s support for PWAs is non-existent, requiring a web view-based solution like PWABuilder’s.
> Additionally, because iOS doesn’t allow 3rd party browser engines, your PWA is limited to WebKit’s PWA capabilities, which are currently lagging behind other browser engines.
