Why? Most of those """native""" apps are a pile of HTML and JS anyways.

I hate PWAs not because I like shitty native apps (it seems like it's not obvious, somehow).
I hate PWAs because I like good native apps, and PWAs give an opportunity for developers to replace their native app with a cross-platform web app. And in my experience, cross-platform generally comes at the cost of app quality on a single platform. Instead of hiring developers who know iOS, you now hire web developers who debug their web app on many platforms they don't really know well.
