The idea that *anyone* would accept the terms of Apple's App Store for things that can *obviously* be PWAs, in 2024, is offensive.

The one and only reason this persists is that Apple will not implement installation prompts and/or `onbeforeinstallprompt` like big-boy browsers do.

Even if you ignore the entire universe of asshattery and brokenness that is WebKit today, this alone would be anticompetitive nonsense in a world with App "Smart Banners"
