How is requiring the user to open a completely different application a better "user experience" than installing it from the web page they're already on?
Yes, I know that installing a PWA is confusing (especially on Apple's systems), but there no reason it has to be that way.
PWA (if it were implemented properly): "Click here to install app". Click. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. App opens in the same window.
App store: "Click here to install app". Click. An entirely different application opens. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. You open it, but now you're in a different context.
