The original baby was only designed to live inside and come out of it's mothers womb. It was only supposed to drink milk and cry. How dare it learn how to talk, walk eat solid foods and grow bigger!

So what exactly are you asking for here? A list of PWA api's that must be used all the time in every single PWA app? What's the benefit of that? Which application development API has such an asinine requirement in the first place?

This kind of reminded me of the module pattern [1] popular with ye olde jQuery plugins. Just realized that hooks try to emulate what JS does natively, which is keeping track of all local variables in a functions calling scope. Meaning that

Rich nations are exactly like poor people. If you are lucky to grow up privileged, your path to success is very easy compared to someone who group up poor. Rich nations inherited the loot from slavery, and used it to power their innovation.
