The whole point is that you don't need to download a big payload just because you haven't used it recently.

There are two ideas that go together well:

* The app can work offline

* The app doesn't need a server to function

Neither of those prevent a sync function from existing.

Right now, apps can do both of those. Why don' we want PWA's to be able to do the same? Why do I have to go through Apple's walled garden in order to so? Especially when said alternative is in a sandbox?
