Re: [w3c/manifest] Related applications members (at risk?) (#877)

IIRC, the use case for `getInstalledRelatedApps` is no longer about push notification duplication (some history: I worked on GIRA back in 2017 when it first went through a Chrome origin trial, and at that time, we decided not to proceed with the API based on the grounds that the only use case, and it could be better solved by simply having user agents disable notifications for web apps by default if the related app was installed).

However, since then, the API has been revived by @rayankans, I believe based on emerging use cases such as those listed [here](https://web.dev/get-installed-related-apps/). IIRC the key use cases are for apps with a PWA and native version where the native version has a superset of the functionality. If the PWA knows that the native app is installed, it can just switch into that app, but if not, it can ask the user to install it.
