EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE NEEDS TO HAVE AN ENTIRE COPY OF GOOGLE CHROME IN IT TO DISPLAY A BASIC USER INTERFACE, HAVING 10 SLIGHTLY DIFFERNET VERSIONS OF ELECTRON INSTALLED AND LOADED INTO MEMORY IS THE OPTIMAL SYSTEM SETUP

I really wish PWAs got more adoption and more features added to safely interact with host OS...
Idk PWAs kinda suck and are not natively supported by non-chrome based browsers. I'd rather have real software instead of repackaged web content.
It's the reason I think it needs more adoption. There are some pretty neat use cases for offline apps with indexeddb storage. They install so easily on client machines unlike desktop apps. May be I'm biased since I worked on a few of these apps.
What do you mean not natively supported? Firefox installs them just fine.
Since when? I recall having to install an extension to do it which requires it's own separate binary to perform the install.

Browser support: Firefox and Safari do not support installing PWAs on any desktop operating systems. See Installing sites as apps, below. Chrome and Edge support installing PWAs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Chromebooks.
Not desktop, that's probably the difference.
