Useless parameters in every PWA URL

https://api.cleanapk.org/v2/apps?action=list_apps&type=pwa

The URL of every PWA provided by CleanAPK ends with the redundant parameters ?force=pwa&source=mlpwa.

It looks like a bug or some kind of referrer signal.

I looked up the string and found: https://m.uber.com/?force=pwa&source=mlpwa

So they may have some significance for Uber, but not for all (or most) other PWAs. As far as I can tell, all they do is hint to those other websites that the user is running /e/OS. Please look into getting rid of them.
