How is "share" intuitive here?

I want to pin the app, not share.

That seems purposefully misplaced. As usual with malicious compliance.

In Android: Menu > Install and create shortcut. Much cleaner, intentional, and visible with a single click for me.

It’s intuitive in as much as anything on smart phones is, because the share menu is the OS mechanism for sending data from any iOS app to somewhere else. You use the same menu to save a file to Dropbox, put a photo into a note, add a bookmark etc. Effectively if you want to take something that lives in an app and have it live somewhere else, you use the share menu.

It’s been under “Share” since before the term “Progressive Web App” was coined.
