I am also thinking that installing is exactly what people avoid when they prefer PWAs, so if installing is actually just creating a shortcut to home screen (and Windows equivalent), then maybe the verbiage should reflect that and we would see wider adoption.
On my RadioSide, when the user selects to add to home screen or install as an app, it makes an icon and that's that, from the user's point of view it looks like an app, works like an app, quacks like an app, without the risks and hassle.
Most users have no idea that it's possible thus presenting them with an "install this" they already get anxiety attacks of downloading and running stuff and taking risk, I am talking about average users.
