My understanding is that this concept is not producing a self-contained
guac app, but supporting the various APIs that browsers need to facilitate
that "Add to home screen", "Add to desktop", etc. functionality:

The main advantage in guac's case IMHO is that doing so usually allows guac
to handle keyboard shortcuts that would normally be eaten by the browser.
On mobile devices, it also gives you a bit more screen space due to no
address bar.

I'm not sure what's missing there, though. I leverage this functionality
already with guac as it is.
