So iOS must allow web apps.

It does, doesn't it? Even if you stretch "web app" to mean "PWA" iOS supports them. And it definitely supports the literal definition of "web app" (i.e. loading a website in a browser that runs JS or whatever to perform its "app" functionality).
According to this discussion, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39563618, they don't behave in the same way or have all features.

E.g., For support, the Progressive Web Apps will still need to be built on WebKit, with all that entails.
