So there should be a large amount of successful web apps on Android?

Sounds like it's more likely to happen on Android

So this is going to be the year of the dominance of the web app after close to 15 years?

You asked if there are a large amount of successful web apps on Android, I provided evidence that points to the likelihood of it happening on that platform over iOS, due to official first party interest and efforts and improving them. You're moving the goalposts, and arguing just for the sake of arguing.

You said “more likely to happen” not “has happened”.

There are many successful web apps, period.

Just not on iOS, if they need the "wrong" functionality.

If Apple is holding back PWAs then you should be able to find some successful ones for the platform that has 85% of the market.
