From the article:

There is no native app for The Session, but you can install it on your phone nonetheless. Lots of people have done that. After a while they forget that they didn’t install it from an app store: it behaves just like any other app on their homescreen.

Maybe you don't believe this but it was addressed.

I thought PWAs already didn't work well on iOS, though?

Apart from opening in a browser window rather than as a full-screen app, is this going to behave significantly differently from before?

Apple has made some significant improvements in their handling of PWAs recently, most notably supporting push notifications. Which makes their recent moves even more discouraging.
