This is probably motivated by the EU decision that since no uses iMessage in the EU, Apple is not legally a "gatekeeper". Perhaps no one (i.e. fewer than 40 million people) uses web apps in the EU, therefore they are gambling that they are allowed to legally gatekeep in that market

I don't think so, they're just trying to make the experience worse and then say "it's the EU that made us do it".

Or like others speculate, to not allow third party browsers to do PWAs.
