Does it seem like this was the plan all along to anyone else? Apple gave us the worst possible outcome so that this now seems like a win.

I was gonna say this. They need to allow third party browsers the ability to create PWAs, but they can't (or don't want to). So instead they just disabled it, saying that it was not possible, and wait for the backlash to restore it for them only.

Now we are at the beginning, PWAs are locked to Apple...but apparently that's good? I don't understand...

If this was their plan it’s not a good one. There’s no indication that the EU was interested in PWAs before this, but now Apple have made it a cause célèbre and brought the issue to the attention of the EU.

Hanlon’s razor should be applied.
