They're still a thing. If your work uses Google Chat instead of Slack / Teams the only way to install an app version is as a PWA. A company I recently worked for just got most people to use the Outlook PWA instead of the traditional desktop client, and I frequently use Spotify and Soundcloud's PWAs. One of the more popular backend API testing apps is hopscotch which is entirely a PWA, and this was also written on Voyager for Lemmy.
