Many APIs Android apps can use are unavailable to PWAs. Also PWAs typically require server infrastructure to at least load once. The author of my favourite open source unit conversion calculator shouldn't need to maintain a web server so I can use their app.

But yeah, for use cases that require a server anyways and don't need elaborate mobile APIs, PWAs are probably the way to go.
