Just look at the timing.

And there is a simple solution too: just offer multiple browsers in the appstore.

It's not about browsers. It's about OS APIs that browsers need to support PWAs. Apple is killing those APIs so that other browsers cannot offer PWAs.
That's what I meant: they could continue offering safari as a "basic web browser" but allow actual web browsers in the appstore, that can fully implement any web APIs.
This is probably not accurate given I was mistaken above but I thought that's what Apple was doing. You can load any browser but some OS APIs are going away.
