> intentionally broken (PWA)

People keep saying at as this is the truth.

1. There's no such thing as PWA. It's an umbrella term for nearly a dozen different standards

2. I think push notifications were the only ones missing from iOS Safari, so what exactly is "intentionally broken"?

Push notifications is THE most important feature preventing companies from building webapps instead of multiple native apps. This is not a coincidence, as native apps bring revenue and drives platform establishment. Push notifications have been available on Android for a decade.

As a user, this is really disappointing, especially when apple boast about "putting the user first" in matters of privacy. Native apps are much more privacy invasive than webapps.
