I don't care about PWAs and would generally prefer companies not have the option so they can't try to push me into one. Anything that makes that less-viable is good for me.

I wish Apple'd held a hard line on the "no apps that should be a web site" rule(s) for similar reasons. Alas, they did not.

I agree. My experience with PWAs is they are usually downgrade from a safari bookmark... they are created to benefit the provider, not the user, by taking away browser abilities from me (back, forward, copy url, etc).
