I don't think there are any good points at all in this. On the first 5 (I gave up caring to type up more):

> 1. This won’t get new users

App Stores are still a discovery mechanism and it's a pain teaching users how to add them to their home screen vs. just linking to an App Store entry.

> 3. It defeats the whole purpose

There's times to take on the world and times to join it, and the current trend is to put them in the App Store. I don't know how many companies starting out can afford to wait for the world to change on this.

> 4. PWAs don’t belong there

Incredibly subjective.

> 5. App stores aren’t more convenient

...huh? Users are already familiar with the flow to open an app store and search for a company. Users are generally not familiar with adding a bookmark of a PWA to their home screens.
