>No PWAs, no notifications, no native experience.

Web notifications are great for developers, but I'm not convinced they've been all that positive for end users. I've noticed that more novice users tend to inadvertently opt-in to a lot of very spammy web notifications, particularly from online retailers and adult websites. And because they're novice users, they generally do not know how to filter or disable these notifications. I'd suggest that web notifications need a better mechanism to filter out notifications from bad actors, before said notifications reach end users. Otherwise the standard is doomed to be littered with spam like SMS or email.
