Yes, they did that when the EU made the ruling about allowing other app stores. Apple doesn't like PWAs cause they lose their 30% cut. Hopefully we some ruling or law that they have to treat them equal to native apps.

I dont use many PWA's since I had to run them on chromium before. But as a web Dev and even more so as a user, I feel like PWA's are the way to go. They completely avoid all the app stores drama plus the 30% fees. Also the devs get to deploy instant updates without the delay going through the app stores. Just like any other web app. If done right I could see them replacing most native apps. Assuming we can get apple to allow PWAs full CPU usage. Currently they are throttling them from what I understand.
Edit: To clarify I'm speaking about mobile. I've never even tried PWAs on desktop and can't imagine why I would use that over browser+bookmarks.
Nextcloud or a samba server are good options. But if storage is not a issue I'd recommend checking out syncthing. I run it on my server and sync some directories to my phone and other directories to my desktop. And one directory between phone and desktop(obsidian notes). I don't think you can run sycthing on iphones though.
Indeed. I'm not sure when they added mobile support back, but it wasn't there when I last looked for it. Guess its time for me to move my PWAs out of brave now. Thanks.
