On iPhones, Apple forbids third party appstores. You cannot also sideload. So that's a no go. On Androids, I think you can install third party appstores. fdroid is the one I've heard before, but there could be more.
In the EU, iPhone users can install from alternative sources: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/117767
> All apps available through alternative app distribution are submitted to a Notarisation process with Apple.

It would be great to see an "app store" that drives discoverability of PWA apps. Edit: googled and found this: https://store.app/
Handsome site, but doesn't seem very active sadly. PWAs really struggle with distribution - it comes down to the PWA maker (or team) having enough charisma, alignment, and budget to get people to follow the kind of arcane instructions for installing each unique PWA.

But in most cases installing a PWA requires nothing more than 'Add to Home screen' in your mobile browser of choice. 5 seconds.
Web Apps & PWAs :) There's a lot you can do to optimize offline PWA use.
As mentioned this is possible but not recommended for Android. I'm not sure if anyone is releasing paid apps outside of Play store though.
