They want to be fined so badly.
PWA could have been awesome but Apple and Google would rather have apps in their stores where they can clip the ticket. Sad.
*Apple
Google for the longest time was (and still is) one of the biggest supporters of the idea. Chromium overall has the best support for PWAs and some of their Apps (like Google News or Photos) have very competent PWA versions.
Samsung’s OneUI handles PWAs much better than stock Android. What Google does is the bare minimum.
Not from my experience. Almost all Android Variants (including Stock) handle them great.
And the enshittification continues.
But Apple makes overpriced ego boosting lifestyle products anyway, so anyone who thinks they need their crap deserves it.
Cutting nose to spite face it seems.
The only reason I spend extra for Apple is the security.
If the EU takes that, their entire business model is gone.
They make no money by requiring their web engine be used.
What they get is a phone where they prevent apps from snooping around other apps and secretly taking over the camera and microphone.
Here is a Wikipedia page that explains their long fight over encryption.
The EU regs just eliminated all of this protection in the name of commerce, but the big winners are the spy agencies and hackers.
