As a side note, if you're doing this with a build of chromium, you can use the [kWebAppForceInstall](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:chrome/common/pref_names.cc;l=1947?q=kWebAppInstallForceList%20prefs&ss=chromium) pref today - that will force-install apps as described above today, with some override options as well.
