Nothing is going to change in the short term for sure. Users also prefer the responsive feeling of native apps in general, though progressive web apps might help slightly.
I still believe that the EU started with the correct intentions with the DMA. They saw a need to increase the competition in the digital marketplace. However, it slowly turned into a public trial of Apple and transferring the ownership of iOS ecosystem to public domain almost.
How will responsive web apps help when most Android users aren’t buying top of the line phones and app makers have to create a native app to get any type of responsiveness?
Facebook for instance realized years ago that it would have to make real native apps to get decent performance instead of the app being a web wrapper.
I'm all for native apps. And you're right about the performance. PWA would only work for very simple stuff.
The end-goal is to turn Apple into a pure hardware vendor so that they can get direct access to end-users.
