Pwa can never replace electron. Pwa will always be in limited sandboxed api's that give little control over necessary features.

In a future where all apps are sandboxed there will be no major differences.

On Windows(UWP) and ChromeOS/Android, PWAs have the same rights as other apps if properly signed.

Where did you find this out? My quick search for how to sign a progressive web app didn't find anything.

PWA in Windows 10 can access the same APIs as UWP C# & C++ apps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-....

I don't know about Android / ChromeOS.

I don't want to live in this future.

I prefer a future where random applications cannot roam free on my $HOME contents.
