When is Opera adding PWA functionality?

I cant find it anywhere, and its such a crucial feature in every other browser; so much so that its really disappointing that Opera seems to be so far behind in this respect. Why are devs slow to integrate? Or am I missing something?

@parker26 Maybe they don't have interesting in adding it?

@leocg It would only increase the browser's functionality; and those who didn't want to use it don't have to! As such, theres no reason I can think of not to add PWA functionality. Maybe I'm completely missing something obvious, but I can only think of any positive effects.

Chromium (that Opera is based on) has PWA support by default. So, there's a chance that Opera purposely disables it because they don't want it. Or, due to all of Opera's modifications to Chromium, maybe PWA support doesn't work without a huge effort of fixes or workarounds. If it's the former, PWA support might never happen unless Opera changes their minds. If the latter, it might be a pain to make things work.

@burnout426 Its sad to hear, but it makes sense. Im not to hip on too much of the software behind much of anything, so thanks for explaining. I hope that its maybe a future goal.
