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

> > 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.

Chromium doesn't seem to be fully following this policy fully either. For example Periodic Background Sync is being added as a feature with implicit permission based on installed. It's nice as an aspiration but it's not clear that this is where treatment of installed web apps is going.
