I have thought about installability criteria like a permission, or a trade: sites that do the work to meet user expectations of other apps on the homescreen can get/show the prompt. It's a quality bar as much as anything.

While I agree with what's a good ux. I'm not sure about the web platform removing abilities if you don't meet a set of quality score calculated automatically based on goals not defined by standards or even the user. I'm not convinced yet that it will be for good

As a stop-gap, we're investigating treating slow-starts as crashes. Anyhow, on holiday and won't respond here more for a while.

If they content doesn't do well for the user for installability, why bother rendering it as a next step, or with a yellow omnibox saying "be careful this is a crappy website"
that's why I say it end up like an app store but without human interaction for QAThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I find this way of thinking really worrying. Quality scores have many problems, also they change very often during development. Making the installability of web apps unreliable or uncertain could definitely kill PWAs.

Personally I think any web app which provides a web app manifest should be installable, the browser just might not suggest that you install it. Otherwise PWAs may suffer the same fate that physical web beacons did when Google started filtering based on arbitrary quality metrics.
