PWA is a "progressive web app" - a normal web app that can use additional features when available. Everything beyond straight HTML (including CSS and Javascript) is considered "progressive". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement

There are many features put under the marketing banner of "PWA" that Safari supports. A large number of the ones which Safari _doesn't_ support are only supported by the Blink engine, and are not on a standards track. Many of these other browser engines have explicitly said they will not support due to the design being harmful for the web.

Google themselves have slowed down significantly on new "PWA" features since ChromeOS started supporting running native Android apps.

Safari absolutely supports PWAs. There are features it doesn't support, but the premise is supported.

If you don't support the PWA features people want PWAs for, then claiming PWA support is silly.
