When I think "progressive web…" I think of progressive enhancement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement i.e. make regular non-JavaScript websites as a foundation and add JavaScript just to enhance that.

I suppose this is a compatible idea, but the PWA idea is based on everything going in the wrong direction generally. PWA aims to make everything "app" like even when it's not warranted. The vast majority of apps and PWAs don't need to exist at all. People don't need all this JavaScript interactive excess.

What I like about PWAs: a move away from everyone downloading ridiculous numbers of apps for each website. What I don't like about PWAs: turning websites into apps when not needed.
