It wouldn’t. I don’t understand what you’re asking. The issue is with the sites (the vast majority) that aren’t being added to the home screen—they’re the ones being hobbled by this 7 day deletion.

I don’t really understand that part. If every website can be added to the home screen, why would they do something special for PWAs?

It could also just be that I am currently so distracted, that I don’t see what’s obvious to everyone else …

Chrome, Opera and Samsung Internet “promote” progressive web apps and encourage users to add them to their home screen (becuase—thanks to the manifest file—once opened from there, they behave just like native apps). Safari does nothing. adactio.com/notes/16653

Consequently, nobody on iOS—other than devs like you and me—ever adds any websites to their home screens (progressive web apps or otherwise). adactio.com/notes/16654
