That is for actual websites. A PWA is typically something app-like.

Think about it a little harder. If Apple says "only bikes are allowed in their bike store, and if you want to build something else, go put your product in a different store", then you said OK fine and proceeded to build a bike and put it in another store, does that make sense?

Apple would've accepted your bike. Websites and web apps are treated differently in Apple's rules.

Understand that Apple has used this rule to keep web based apps out of the app store, but they got burned on that and there's no such restriction today.

I sincerely don't understand your analogy or how it would apply to PWAs. But it sounds like you're saying they no longer enforce the policies that way? That's good.
