Apple could support PWAs and enforce the same Core Technology Fee they do on them as they do for 3p distributed apps, so this argument makes no sense.

Apple has no way of enforcing any kind of platform fee for PWAs since the developer does not need to interact with Apple at all. This financial conflict of interest is why the availablity of the full PWA feature set is desirable to developers and undesirable to Apple.
