Interesting feedback… I’d love to have more insight into the submitter’s objections here. I mean, limiting the apps you can download based on the technologies used to build them seems like an odd choice (e.g., I only want to download Win32, don’t show me UWP).

I choose not to install PWAs that are obviously recognizable, but my browser window is still polluted with unnecessary install buttons and install items in the menu that I will never use and, more importantly, developers don't appear to be required to properly define their "app" so PWAs are allowed into app stores with no obvious way for me to recognize and block them.
I want the ability to disable PWA support on (all) my browser(s), or failing that, a requirement that any "app" submitted to the app store is properly tagged to determine if it is native or PWA, so I can make an informed decision and not accidentally install a PWA.
