Great PWA support on Windows 10:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/pwa

Access to native APIs:

Even OCR and camera access. No IndexedDB limits.

Conclusion: Regular PWAs might have access to the file system, but only inside of a sandbox that cannot be connected to the users file system area
