Maybe I'm missing something but aren't PWAs pretty dead-simple on both iOS and Android? Maybe it's the "reliable storage" part that's the gap?

The amount of effort that goes into keeping Termux barely functional, has a lot to do with Android and the platform making it harder and harder, to access a dev environment on a phone.
Running `npm install` on Android isn't so easy.
(Caveat: The new Android Terminal that only works on a handful of models.)
I thought I read that one or both of them removed or heavily restricted PWA support to funnel more apps to their 30%-taking app store.
No that's not correct, they both support PWAs with a large feature set. I built and have been maintaining a client's PWA (an internal tool for their employees) for over 10 years now.
Not my site, but someone on HN (can't remember who) built it: https://pwascore.com
