https://wicg.github.io/background-fetch/#background-fetch-manager-fetch is executing a 'display ' step which might trigger prompting the user. User activation is generally a requirement in those flows. This would also mirror well the desired behavior...
Background fetch might require displaying User Agent UI to show ongoing background fetch states. Displaying such information is particularly hard to do for third-party contexts which origin the user may...
