Re: [w3c/manifest] Should appinstalled / beforeinstallprompt fire on native app installation? (#514)

Folks, I truly understand your motivations regarding your specific platforms but this does not make the Web platform more competitive. On the contrary, you are including it to benefit native apps and you know it:

I think delegating in the _business folks_ is an error. That prevents emerging / future browsers to access the same capabilities in the Web platform.
