RE: [Push] one or many

This is one of those semantics rabbit-holes that I request we avoid. The term webapp is well-known (>5m hits on google in the common forms “webapp” “web app”, etc).
In comparison, “web page” is probably a more amorphous and anachronistic term and provides less valuable context for the user/developer of specs. The web is a distributed application framework. In “modern” terms it serves apps that are implemented using web tech (the essential meaning of “webapp”).

Indeed, the spec is currently inconsistent about registrations. The current intention is to have one per ServiceWorkerRegistration (i.e. per service worker). See for more details and discussion:

The term webapp does seem a bit odd to me. It's really just a web page. Is there a reusable concept I can link to for that?

That's not a definition that means anything. As I said, it's not grounded.
