"I didn't delete your files, I moved them from the bucket where they aren't deleted to the bucket where they are deleted, and then according to my own policies, I deleted them. This change is mandatory."

It's a policy change that impacts storage and has the practical effect that PWAs on iOS in the EU have had the persistent storage feature removed with no replacement.

Seems fair to gloss that as "Removing persistent storage."

I agree. It has a knock-on effect. But their storage policy hasn’t changed, a different policy has.

The problem is when you try to determine their intent from the misunderstanding that they have changed their policy specifically regarding storage. They haven’t done this. Their storage policy is the same as it has been for years.

And yet pretending this new approach to PWAs is somehow business as usual is incredibly disingenuous.

I haven‘t said anything of the sort.
