Thanks for the thoughts @kasey. Agreed! If my app is limited to less hardware/machine level access, then is it clever to invest in PWAs??

Yes, I think it is wise to invest in PWAs. You basically get to reuse the same web skills, and add in a (comparatively) few PWA particulars. Although the caching bit can bite you. It is a big win for many kinds of apps to be installable and usable offline on mobile and desktop without having to pick up a completely different toolchain.
