What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.
Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.
They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.
It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.
