Apple was in support of PWAs initially and then they decided app store closed ecosystem = $$$$. PWAs are better supported on their shit mobile safari browser nowadays, but they have lacked important functionality and kept bugs in it for years; I have even seen some of these issues mentioned in Voyager's issues / PRs.
That being said if they had a more open ecosystem and chrome / Firefox with their own engines were allowed on the app store (they are on there but they use Safari's webkit because it is against app stores TOS, probably because of better PWA support from competition?)
