Why does it matter if they're first to implement a standard?

Because Safari is gatekeeping not innovating and implementing W3C standards.

Web standards and features. I assume you haven't heard of them intentionally limiting PWAs?

Huh, I didn’t realize that there was a “web standards and features” standard, or a PWA specification - could you provide the urls?

Or alternatively actually answer the question like an adult rather than parroting the standard Apple hates the web nonsense.
