I dont think that is true.
The biggest problem is there is no single one button solution to add ( install ) a Web App to your Home Screen. Clicking on Add to Home Screen is not the solution. For example, if you read about an HTML Games on the Web. You dont want user to click on the Game right now and Add to Home Screen. You want them to install to their homescreen with a single button.
I am not the usual supporter of PWA Apps because they dont offer the experience a Native Apps offer, even in their best form. ( Things are improving but still not quite there, the last 10% is always going to be very hard ) But that is a small price to pay. The problem is Apple is stopping PWA support at all cost.
