Telegram Web, wefwef and Outlook (for work) are doing a fantastic job running on my iPhone SE. Do you think PWA on mobile are the future? Developers could get around the 30% cut for in-App-purchases and publish apps not even allowed in large appstores. Companies could sell phones with alternate operating systems and their users could still access all their favourite apps (yes, I’m dreaming). Wasn’t Steve Jobs original idea of the iPhone about something similar to PWA instead of apps?

I’m pretty sure the overhead of a web renderer is considerably more than any analytics library loaded in the app unless it’s particularly bad code.

Not really. A proper PWA is cached locally and assets loaded just once just like a normal app.
