I like Java and Linux on ARM
I could be wrong, but I think you are simply mistaken because there should be absolutely no possible way for the PWA to install a browser engine onto your device? The user can first install the browsers of their choice, separately, and then install PWAs using that browser.
That would be a huge concern and really contradict the entire point and purpose behind PWAs as I understand them… I’ve been searching but can’t find anything like what you say. I’d love to see your source
I’ve read through your comments and it seems like your primary concerns are:
you believe users “trust” apps and “distrust” websites, and PWAs trick a user into a false sense of trust, and the user’s personal feelings are somehow relevant to the security of the software
you believe that it is possible to bundle a browser engine, customized by the PWA developer, that will be installed with the PWA and the PWA will run inside of
I’m going to need a source on 2

“How is a piece of software that runs in the browser instead of directly in the os… less secure than a website?”
The question answered itself 😂

Yes, however the EU enacted new regulations to put a stop to that practice, so that Apple will be required to allow other browsers on their platform.
Disabling PWAs is how Apple has chosen to retaliate against those new regulations.
