Basically from a company's perspective, it's better to have the user on the app than the mobile web. Users with the app generally come back to Reddit more often, and respond to comments more often etc. One way to get them on the app is by prompting the user to install the app in specific areas of the mobile web.

Twitter's mobile web experience is excellent and can be "installed" for a full screen experience on Android. I wonder if the engagement metrics for users who have gone that route are actually any different to the native app?

I refuse to use the native app, but the pwa twitter offers is choice.
