Hey Stephen, Ionic has great support for PWA. Yes, you are right, you don't need PWA to work your site on mobile, it's an enhancement to your site which engages users more with your web app. It has a 'Add to home screen' functionality, offline caching, web push notifications and many more which native app provides.
