With a web app there is a direct relationship between the site owner (let's say HN) and me. There is no Apple middleman in between, making rules about what the service can do or can't do, taking a cut of the profits, shutting down the service at their whim, deciding which updates are good and which are not. Same for Google on Android.

I think it's bold of you to assume that in a world where Apple decides to have 1st class support PWA's that it won't also come with the same restrictions as native apps.

They'll make you submit your PWA for app store review, sign your asset and JS bundles so all other's won't load, make you support "Web IAP", and go through review again every time you want to update your bundle.

Hitching your "I want to be be free of Apple's platform control" to "I want PWA's" is a recipe for disappointment.
