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.

      I agree app stores need to face antitrust scrutiny... but websites having crazy types of permissions isn't the answer.

      Web apps by default talk to an outside server, native apps by default do not. Native apps will always be the more private by default option.
