They aren't killing PWAs. They're simply removing them from the home screen. Nothing about this will interfere with the ability to load and operate PWAs.

Except stuff like push notifications, that requires the pwa to be added to home screen.

That’s the social engineering aspect of insecurity on pwas.

I’m genuinely baffled by this comment section.

Apple's implementation of other PWA standards requires an app to be opened from the home screen. A user can't access features of the app if they can't add it to the homescreen.
