PWAs strike me as the next step in the rush to the bottom that software seems to be on.

I don't have data, but subjectively speaking, I've never seen a web-based application that wasn't inferior to a native application. PWAs just promise to increase the amount of substandard software.

    There are proved benefits of using PWAs in specific situations, but it's not near the wonderland that companies like Google are making it seem.

    I believe that they have secured a place in mobile development and are very worth considering at this point, but it's very soon to say they're a good solution for everyone.

      Yes, I didn't mean to imply that there is no role for PWAs at all, although I think the main beneficiary is what the article is talking about -- for marketers.
