Re: [w3c/manifest] beforeinstallprompt : Prompting user makes it to hard to discern whether the user truly wanted to "install" a web app (#835)

> I'm not sure how or why this commentary of what Chromium does or intend to do in the future is relevant to my earlier comment but okay. ... Saving a website to home screen doesn't come off as something that's required to be initiated within the website due to its dependency on a specific functionality or a state of a given website.

The commentary precisely ties into this: installation should not be a guard for other permissions, and in and upon itself it should not give sites more than the persistency of a home screen shortcut and the ability to run in a standalone fashion. That is, we already avoid purely gating features only to installed apps, and avoid treating installation as a "trust" point for other permissions.
