As an iOS and Android developer myself, this doesn't effect me but I still think Apple and Google making things harder for PWA is bad because Apple and Google are the gate keepers for what goes on their native app stores. I can cut some slack for Google as they at least allow third party app stores but Apple doesn't.

Either Apple should stop being the gate keeper or stop making life harder for web devs.

Maybe Apple could offer a compromise and allow users to sideload apps, but restrict non-App Store apps from accessing the file system or any kind of personal identification (like location etc.)

And improve their documentation to lower the barriers to native development.
