"all sorts of great features that you’d normally associate with native apps, like push notifications, offline support, and app loading screens — but on the web! Awesome."
I didn't know app loading screens were "a great feature".
Anyway I really don't see the point of PWAs or much future for them anyway. Even if Apple started supporting these with Safari, the web apps still could not interact with different hardware components/sensors, iOS SDK's etc.
React Native already brought a platform which allows making apps with native components and good performance with JS + decent access to hardware and iOS and still it's barely used outside of hobby projects.

Loading screens are obviously a good thing when lots of assets need to be loaded for a game. The presentation can inform the user where things are at in the process of fetching those items. Flash could do it quite well.
Isn't that obvious though? A loading screen is informative and functional.

I'm sorry, but native apps aren't going anywhere.
