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

I like this part from @mgiuca comment:
> Also, it is entirely up to the developer what "prompting" means. If you don't want to show a modal dialogue, you could consider responding to a call to the prompt() method by simply flashing or wiggling the install button in your browser UI. You can do anything you want with your browser UI.

The UI doesn't have to be "prompting". It may just "highlight" the ambient badge button. Or show a tooltip which says "You can install this web app by tapping this button". Tapping on tooltip itself would do nothing.

Possibilities are not limited here, but the problem is -- the thing itself is not wanted. I'm starting to think there is more to this issue than simply "we don't want to be intrusive to users".
