Steve Jobs pitched PWAs way back when, I don't know why all we've gotten is a half-baked solution from Apple other than they want you in their App Store with a native app.
I know that Apple made some huge advances in that within the past couple of years, but I...generally don't want PWAs myself, so I haven't paid very close attention. If you don't use Apple devices, and thus also don't pay very close attention, you might check and verify whether what you expect to be true still is.
Where "support PWA" and "no shenanigans" are which of the ever shifting sets of APIs?
You shouldn't have to install things on your phone. Most "apps" should just be websites, with a bookmark if you so choose.
No, that's not my point.
My point is that there's no such thing as PWA. There's a lose collection of standards, and everyone choses a set that benefits their narrative when defining PWAs.
For a very long time Apple supported all APIs (except maybe notifications) that even Google defined as necessary for something to be a PWA. Didn't stop people from pretending that this is somehow not PWA.

As Android shows, even there no one wants that, and there are very few PWAs of note.
