Which still doesn’t support the argument that Apple wants to cripple PWAs because it makes money on the App Store. Those apps would have been free on the App Store and since they are selling physical goods, Apple wouldn’t have made any money on in app purchases.

I mean it gives credit to the theory that webapps (PWAs in particular) are gaining tractions and big companies are paying attention to it because people are actually using it, which means Apple is afraid it might loose it's stranglehold on the app economy.

The types of apps that are theoretically “moving to the web” aren’t making Apple any money anyway. There is no evidence that there is a trend for the types of apps that actually benefit from in app purchases are moving to the web.
All of the APIs that Apple isn’t supporting wouldn’t help a single major revenue producing app move to the browser.
