“Bookmarking” was a weird concept not long ago - but nowadays most users know what it is to “bookmark” something. 

So I’d imagine “installing” will be similar: just a normal thing that a browser provides and a normal thing that users come to expect as they gain browsers literacy in over time.

Browser makers help users learn about “installing” by teaching them about these UI affordances in various ways: onboarding screens... marketing steps in... all the way to TV/Movie advertising. Over time, installing becomes part off the normal browsers lexicon: Open a tab, “googling“, bookmarks, install, add to homescreen, etc. 

Just a browser thing.... “you don’t need to bookmark it - Just install it”™️.
