Re: [w3c/manifest] Moves BeforeInstallPrompt and related text to a non-normative annex. (#843)

Adding my comment from #836 

> From a user privacy perspective, it is always better, (and frequently a legal requirement), to inform the user in clear, understandable terms what they are agreeing to. The beforeinstallprompt is a key component in user privacy for PWAs. beforeinstallprompt allows a website to clearly and concisely explain to the user what installing a specific app means and what the user benefit is for doing so.

Frequently this default prompt comes at the wrong time in the user lifecycle and leads to user confusion. I've read through the above thread and linked issue, and it feels misguided -- the working group included beforeinstallprompt in the standard as an essential privacy-preserving component.
