I know there are some decent individual examples (indeed I mentioned some myself). I'm just unconvinced that the once-anticipated shift from native apps to PWAs is happening. They are expanding into some niches, but mobile app development is still overwhelmingly native. Certainly for my local job market, only an ideologue, uninterested in the repercussions of their advice, would suggest to a mobile app newbie that they learn PWA tech first - iOS & Android developers will walk into a job anywhere, whereas they'd be hawking for a while to find work building PWAs (though web tech more generally is hot as always of course).
That is the whole point, 90% of mobile apps are actually CRUD apps that can be easily done as mobile Web SPAs.
The PWA part is just yet another tool on mobile Web.
Also in case you missed, I suggested Qt, Xamarin and C++ with Native views.
As for job market, on my area you would be having an hard time finding 100% pure native development offers, everyone only cares for some kind of solution that can be deployed across Android and iOS.

There I agree with you. I'm a fan. But it has zip to do with this thread.
