    I think they maybe have to be approved first so that people aren’t updating their apps with something malicious

        No. The browser (which is the runtime that pwas use) is already a very limited environment with little to access to the system - and if the app wants to access something potentially sensitive, then the browser asks for permission. Even then it doesn’t have access to nearly anything that a native app can access.
