They're not too hard to make. The service worker is most of the effort imo.
Most frameworks it's relatively free
I let you in on a secret.. I actually think they're really neat, just really not useful for the applications most prevalent (news sites, etc. where you likely want to be online anyway)... but that's got me thinking a wiki PWA would be sweet to cache articles.. and that is all I can think of lol
they can still help improve perceived startup time by caching layout, CSS, and some static pages.
