related_applications is single engine feature

[marcoscaceres]

The related_applications member of this specification currently only has a single implementation. As such, it has been marked "at risk" as per the W3C Process, meaning that:

[The feature] may be removed before advancement to Proposed Recommendation without a requirement to publish a new Candidate Recommendation.

The Web Apps Working Group is seeking a second implementation in order to keep this feature in the specification.

Windows already supported it quite a while in addition to Android, and 'webapp' platform for all dPWA is under issue tracker; https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1114966

Thanks @sunggook for the link and additional implementation information. We are still looking for a second browser engine to support it.

Why is there resistance to implementation. It would seem natural for a progressive/micro-service weighted platform to encourage if not insist on loose coupling of related apps.
