Prompt shows on browsers that don't support PWA installation (e.g. ARC)

In truth, this may be a browser issue rather than a library issue, but posting here more for the sake of the conversation/awareness.
Arc browser, for example, does not support PWAs, but the install prompt is still shown. The APIs still have the relevant APIs, it just doesn't do anything with them.

One test I found for installability support (typeof window.onbeforeinstallprompt == 'object') returns true.
The only other solution I can think of is manual user agent checking, which seems unpleasant.
Likely this is a won't fix
