If you need it spelled out for you:
* WebUSB
* WebBLE
* WebSerial
* WebGL
* Many more standards Apple refuses to implement because it would let developers break free of their walled garden
Without being able to target apple devices why would I, or anyone, bother using these technologies and invest in their tooling? Just make a native android app with quality tooling that's been around for a decade and be done with it.

And.... even if you wanted to build a serial-port enabled "Works only in Chrome" PWA today (lol, we both know you're not) there's no tooling jankiness stopping you from doing so, checking for `if ("serial" in navigator) { ... }` requires no tooling at all it's just plain javascript, you'd just choose to show an error message for browsers like Safari and Firefox that don't support it.
I'm not convinced you're even arguing in good faith here. Well, I never was because PWA whiners never are, but you've proven you're not.
