PWAs are still a thing, we're just waiting for Apple to open the walled garden.
I'm excited for PWAs personally as this will allow everyday apps to run on devices not running Android or iOS, like Linux phones.
I'm confused about where development of PWAs is even going. Between the two and a half big browsers, only Chrome/Android seem to be adopting them seriously, I've seen people complain about Firefox not doing a great job, and I have no idea about Safari (but on iOS, I can see why Apple would have a huge incentive to prevent people from bypassing their Developer account fees)...
Yeah I'm low key mad that Firefox is not taking PWAs seriously when it has the potential to open up app development to be cross-platform by default.
I know Epiphany is working on PWA support.
