Talking with early partners was challenging. They all had mobile, responsive websites, and trying to explain SWs and A2HS, etc. didn't work

This wasn't an official Google thing (though I'm an employee). Many on the team hate(d) the name. I only ever argued for it as least-worst.

Also, wouldn't you say PWAs are certain future now with (almost) all vendors' support.. Or is there another struggle on the horizon?
