It's a double-edged situation, of course. On one hand, users who primarily use web-based applications will suffer (I honestly thought that such people didn't exist at all, but it turns out one of my acquaintances is one of them - he hardly has any apps on his phone except the most essential ones. Everything else he rarely uses - he accesses through Safari). But on the other hand, Apple's decision, stating that it ensures security and data protection for users, also seems fair. However, users should still have the choice of what they want to use.

Where has Apple said that of this PWE demotion?

How can web apps be less secure than native apps? The former have much less permissions by design.

I too would love to know.
