The issue isn't that the user won't understand "installing" means saving to "home screen". The label or description doesn't matter much.

The issue is that if website is asking the user to save it on home screen, that is less of a signal to the web browser / operating system that the user had intentionally done so because some user may just tap through prompts from habit / muscle memory.

If the user were to manually add it to home screen via Safari's UI, then that's more of a positive signal that the user wanted to do that, and we already have such an UI in Safari's share sheet although that's outside the scope of the WebKit project since we don't control Safari or any other browser's UI.
