If you visit a PWA on Chrome for Android, you can install the app by tapping the three dots and scrolling down to 'Install app'.

OP has a filter for only installable apps, but it's off by default. So you might be taken to an app that's not installable.

We've been getting feedback to keep the "installable" filter on by default, which I think is a good idea. We'll implement tomorrow. Eventually this'll evolve quite a bit, but we're taking a measure approach. Stay tuned! :-)

It's the same for me, but I have already filtered for installable. I guess this doesn't work on desktop, Safari 16.1?

You'll need Safari 17 to be able to install (Apple calls it "add to dock"). Otherwise, try Chrome.
