Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Question: Review manifest-first Web Install API (Issue #1245)

Hi @marcoscaceres, thanks for your comment. We've had quite a bit of ongoing discussions with the community and other browser vendors, and we recognize that WebKit has had a rather continuous position regarding site-initiated installation flows. I think it's very fair to say that @dmurph has [expressed some particularly fair feedback](https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/619#issuecomment-4557076243) that we believe was in line with our own perspectives. Google is of course organizationally distinct from Microsoft even if we both contribute to Blink; but perhaps that is fair.

Having said so, I also submit that your position "on this matter" is with respect to **the capability of user-initiated application install** (notably, you referenced the BeforeInstallPromptEvent when commenting on "this matter"), and that issue is currently Closed. @LiaHiscock specifically said:

> **In the interest of productivity, we'd like to explicitly request *technical architecture* feedback on this proposal.**

Although we are sensitive to the desire to ensure that we have appropriate user intent signals and to afford balance for prompt fatigue, we have quite thorough feedback from [independent](https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/619#issuecomment-4558055702) [web](https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/619#issuecomment-4013484775) [developers](https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/619#issuecomment-3994460557), alongside experiment data from the Chrome team, which signal positive direction and sentiment toward the capability. That said, we would prefer not to relitigate the question of the capability here, lest we go around in circles.

I believe @LiaHiscock has answered most of the concerns about the capability in the "Re. previous TAG concerns" section. We appreciate your review.
