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

Maybe my thought is off the wall on this thread, but my concern with the "Add to Home Screen" prompt it will eventually become annoying to users of mobile websites. This is the case with sending push notifications currently. A majority of sites will immediately prompt you to send push notifications, users for the most part simply deny out of habit. In time it will completely defeat push notifications.

I think that is what @miwa is pointing out. A means to request the user to make a conscious choice to add it to the home screen becomes more meaningful to developers and companies as the user then intended to have the PWA on the home screen. Permissions to me are a whole other nightmare.

I do appreciate what you do for the web and can only imagine the massive challenge faced from so many developers and browser companies.
