I hope this means Apple is finally forced to start competing on features and not just on being able to block apps from their platform. Case in point: Push notifications for PWAs. If there is an alternate browser that supports this, that can be installed on iPhones, Safari is going to get this real quick.

that would be a great outcome! Sadly I think you overestimate the reach of PWAs.
Oh no, I know PWAs are not really all that capable. But there are an astounding number of apps which are apps only because they need push notifications. All of these could become PWAs.
