> Now if only they'd create a separate folder for web apps in the App Library to put them in instead of requiring that they be on the Home Screen.

Could be a feature of iOS 17, which will be available to developers at WWDC in June.

Yes, like it is every year. Shovelware blog tier speculation.

It could, but I won't hold my breath. I've fallen into the trap of being optimistic that some annoyance will be fixed or some obvious improvement will be implemented in iOS <next_version> multiple times and ending up disappointed. I'm even less hopeful of anything that would improve PWAs, whether in terms of API support or user experience, due to Apple's incentive to keep them second-class.
