Depends on your priorities. For people into standards and commoditization, PWAs are awesome because they reduce the ability of HW makers to differentiate.

For people who just want the best possible app/phone experiences, PWAs are awful.

For lots of use cases, you'd be unlikely to notice a difference in quality. For example, I tune my guitar using a PWA, and I doubt anybody would notice the difference.

The real differentiator with native vs pwa is their ability to track the user.

PWAS are pretty good for high frame rate games, then?

I didn't say they were perfect for every use case. I'm not a gamer, so I'll have to take your word for it. But look at your own phone. You really telling me most of your apps couldn't just be PWA?
