The reasons you would NEED to make a native app anymore are fast dwindling, PWAs ftwhttps://twitter.com/WebAppManifest/status/1215281765482295296 …

Quite the opposite.
#PWA getting more and more restricted - now they will be frozen when running in the background - maybe even on Desktops. And I am not even talking about the castrated push and other (non-) features.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I haven't heard about this - are there details on this somewhere?

Sounds like this was just an experiment https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/sotCDcI-E7Y/NouDM3InCQAJ … ? Looks like the team knows that it could cause issues and are looking for a way around that.

It is another attempt to keep
#PWA competing with native. Only after heavy flak from a few#webdevelopers (including yours truly) did they decide to re-think the issue. We need to keep pressure up to make them, among other things, allow web-push in doze. Remain vigilant.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Standalone windows (PWAs) will likely be exempted from background tab pausing.

That's not the issue. It's about browser developers unilaterally deciding to break functionality that has been working since the beginning (sort of) of web pages. It has happened before (autoplay comes to mind) and it will happen again.

We are in the business of making tradeoffs between what's best for users and developers, and in a tie, we choose users. That is sometimes a tricky balance to strike. Dispute the premise, too: autoplay was never gauranteed to work and hasn't in many situations in many browsers.
