Everything is an ad these days, check any new content similar to this blogpost, YouTube videos, etc. That said, the article is brief, direct, deliver good points then wraps up with an ad.
I don't think there are any good points at all in this. On the first 5 (I gave up caring to type up more):
> 1. This won’t get new users
App Stores are still a discovery mechanism and it's a pain teaching users how to add them to their home screen vs. just linking to an App Store entry.
> 3. It defeats the whole purpose
There's times to take on the world and times to join it, and the current trend is to put them in the App Store. I don't know how many companies starting out can afford to wait for the world to change on this.
> 4. PWAs don’t belong there
Incredibly subjective.
> 5. App stores aren’t more convenient
...huh? Users are already familiar with the flow to open an app store and search for a company. Users are generally not familiar with adding a bookmark of a PWA to their home screens.
