Because Apple has gone silent, a lot of folks are inventing innocent explanations for Cupertino breaking web apps in the EU in iOS 17.4 Betas. There is no innocent explanation, and nothing about this is on the level.
Apple isn't being forced to break PWAs by the DMA. They had 6 months from designation and more than 2 years from DMA text availability to get the code in shape. Geofencing browser choice is an insult to users and developers. Radio silence is a choice.
