Rhe fact that people don't realize PWAs are the next push by Google to regain control is shocking.
The number of hackernews threads calling out Apple for not supporting PWAs is just as insane.

Interesting thought. I wonder if there's a genuine threat of google "AMP-ifying" PWAs. And by that, I essentially mean Google using their properties to exert control over PWAs, just as they have with web articles and other content. Given Google's virtual stronghold over the web, I'd assume so.
I don't really understand: the PWA APIs are W3C APIs, they're not created by one company. Mozilla fully supports them.
Just because they're standards doesn't mean they aren't standards written and promoted chiefly by Google. Mozilla also has pushed back on some of them, despite the fact that... Mozilla supporting them isn't a good argument since most of their revenue also comes from, you guessed it: Google.
I don't have to go full PWA to make useful apps
And don't have to go through an app store, creating an account, paying Apple, waiting for their opaque reviews and giving them 30% of whatever amount I make through my app.
Android has Firefox, thanks to Apple iOS doesn't.
