Open as window option for creating a shortcut is missing

Reported by dave.and...@amerihome.com, Oct 25

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. go to google.com (or any url)
2. go to the Chrome menu button and select "More tools" then "Create shortcut ...".
3. there no longer is a check-box for "Open as window".

What is the expected behavior?
There should be a check-box to be able to open up the shortcut as a window, e.g. without the address bar, favorites bar, etc.

What went wrong?
There is no check box, and therefore can no longer create a window shortcut.

Did this work before? Yes Previous version

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.77  Channel: stable

This is WAI, windowed mode is the default for installable PWA sites while tabbed mode is the default for Create Shortcut.
It's still possible to change the launch behaviour via chrome://apps.
