I was starting to love pwa... But this is going to kill the momentum it was starting to have ๐Ÿ˜ข

Well, let's hope EU fines them all the way to bankruptcy (I know that's not gonna happen, but one can dream).

The EU could force Apple to sell their iPhone business. That's listed as the maximum penalty for a DMA violation for companies that "systematically" fail to open up their platform.

apple wouldn't do that, they'd withdraw from the EU first

Maybe there will be some positives at the end of the day? PWAs were mostly used to distribute proprietary obfuscated webapps and bloating up the web standards and browsers. Or maybe I just miss the days of web being a framework to publish interactive documents and not a base on which WebKit and Chromium try to achieve feature parity with Android.
