> Why Safari can’t just launch from a Home Screen bookmark even if the user has chosen another “default browser”?

IIRC this is exactly what it does after the change. It now just launches the bookmark in a normal browser instead of a browser with the UI hidden.

By Safari, I meant the engine, not the app.

Are there any people who actually prefer no PWAs at all over Safari-engine PWAs?

I think it's less a preference question and more whether Apple thinks saving PWAs with a third party browser and then launching them with Safari is compliant with the DMA.

Safari is the browser, Webkit is the engine.

Personally I don’t care about PWAs at alls. If you want an app, build an actual app.

Are you going to foot the bill for the development cost of building an actual app for a team that doesn't have iOS software dev expertise?

Thought so...

Then don’t offer an app. PWAs are worse than not having an app.

Until Apple nerfed them, they weren't for simple cases.

Dumbest of asses of takes.

Handwriting a 30 page assessment questionaire, fumbling a camera take relevant photos, and then manually correlating the photos to the assessment questions as it's written up properly... Is somehow better than a PWA?I

PWAs aren't a golden hammer, but they're not as useless as your opinions.
