Another reason why this bug is so important to fix: (On iOS at least) SFSafariViewController now uses the exact same user agent as the Safari App, but only the Safari App has "Add to Home Screen."

This makes user messaging incredibly difficult, as sometimes the "share" menu has "Add to Home Screen" and sometimes it doesn't.

Two ways forward:

 1. Add "Add to Home Screen" option to the share menu of SFSafariViewController
 2. Implement beforeinstallprompt (As a web developer, I really enjoy using this API on Android, it provides an intuitive, unobtrusive way to help the user add a web app to their home screen.)
