angular 4 PWA in production?

I know the CLI --mobile flag is not working till now and it seems to take forever even with the official release of the CLI (1.0.3) but I started experimenting with @angular/service-worker and @angular-appshell packages but I still have a really simple question why does the NGSW work only in production mode: ng build --prod

You can serve in prod mode using ng serve --prod

As the service workers are mainly used to cache your app it can be a real problem if you don't know how to disable the cache properly and force the update on reload. That's why, I guess, they disabled it outside of prod mode.
