   Fortunately PWA are well supported on android, half the apps on my phone are PWA and I didn't need an app store or hacking my device to install them. But I moved from native android to PWA after having hellish issues with their automated developer nightmare system.

      Can PWAs operate with local data? Can they interact with data from anywhere in the file system?

         yes, with the File System API, it needs user permission though (which is a good thing).

            Permissions are fine, but on android they happen every single time for the same file (and there's yet no option for the 'Allow everytine' that is present on desktop chrome). This is pretty horrible UX for some use cases.
