Capacitor provides access to many native api's like push/local notification, geolocation, camera etc. The introductory article does not cover those topics because it would complicate the tutorial. If an app does not need any of the native APIs, I think PWA can be a good choice. I believe that capacitor has better iOS application support.

Not possible at moment, the default way of adding a splash screen is allows the v browsers to boast up your pwa via web pack JavaScript package behind the scenes, so custom splash is not coming any time soon.
