I know one thing: by not allowing web apps (PWAs) in the Apple App Store, they are stifling innovation.  And they are purposefully dragging their feet on allowing iOS Safari (WebKit) to do things every other mobile browser can do, like allow the user to enable push notifications from a web site, or make it easy to add a web app to the homescreen.  Users can decide for themselves whether they want a web site to send notifications, and shouldn't have to go through a bunch of unnecessary steps just to add a web site to their homescreen.  I truly believe that they are not protecting the users as much as making their lives harder for the sake of their bottom line (via the coercion to develop a native app for the Apple App Store).  The sooner Tim Cook realizes he's on the wrong side of history, the better.
