PWA's are since 2015, so mid 2018 does indeed seem pretty fast for Apple for implementing it.
I might believe it all when they have "approved 3rd party web rendering engines". Which is ( to be honest) the only thing that will change my opinion about it. Implementing it very slow is just a little better than not implementing it at all.
And i don't think Apple will ever do that. So, it's a rock-steady argument since 2010.
Edit:
If the user doesn’t use the app for a few weeks, iOS will free up the app’s files. The icon will still be there on the home screen, and when accessed the app will be downloaded again
So much for PWA's on iOS.

They do even auto-delete the PWA-apps

Not very trustworthy for using a PWA on iOS it seems :)
I'll admit it's been little more than a fancy way to add a bookmark to your home screen with the option to hide the browser chrome, but it's been there for a long time.
