Ok I see that, but it is different to install an app which can grant additional device permissions compared to merely adding a site link to the screen.
They call it app but it's not a normal (native) app, it's a PWA which is pretty much just a glorified (normal) website. It still runs in the browser like a website.

Progressive Web App, ok. I had not heard of that
