I don’t think the comment you’re replying to was saying Apple’s PWA support was world-leading.
I think it was saying that if Apple wanted to kill PWA it would have made more sense to just not make those investments over the past four years.

Apple wants everything to go through their store. (1) so they can ban anything they don't like. (2) they can get their 30% (can't get 30% of websites)
They only added support for push notifications to iOS in 2023 (7 years after Firefox and 8 years after Chrome on Android), right after the UK regulator started its investigation in mobile ecosystems.
Could be just die hard fans or current employees/investors, but... I've seen and read enough to know how these games are played by all relevant players. Again, this is too important and trivial to infiltrate place to ignore by many many players. Sure mods can remove outright lies but the key is in subtle ways crowds can be manipulated via ie direct attack on negative emotions, or mildly revisioning history one step at a time.
Of course, Apple $1B legal department thought they had to kill web apps to conform with the DMA whose purpose is to open iOS to competition. Sure ;)
It's really not. Self important maybe
Perhaps this is why Apple dragged their feet.
wrong, Apple only started implementing the bare minimum because they felt the heat from devs & feared the legal consequences for their anti-competitive behavior.
Apple still has the unquenchable desire to kill PWAs, they will just keep sabotaging them more subtly. Apple will keep up their shenanigans until the bitter end, but I hope that the EU will have none of it.
I could probably code a web browser by myself in 4 years, how does a 2 trillion company not have world-leading PWA support listen to yourself.
