We need to exert more pressure on apple and eu to not remove PWAs. Every signature counts, please sign and share EU has already started a preliminary investigation on this http://archive.today/2024.02.26-223134/https://www.ft.com/content/d2f7328c-5851-4f16-8f8d-93f0098b6adc

Don't know if this will have any impact; Apple has resisted fixing design flaws in their past products even with public pressure.

It's probably more effective to vote with your wallet and show Apple their behavior isn't acceptable at your next upgrade.

Wallet voting doesn't work at that scale. The user base overall doesn't care and doesn't know better.

Those that care making noise and politics regulating works, or can work.

A big group of Apple fanbase are not ignorant, rather willing accomplices. Just look at the downvotes here. They will do anything to defend Apple's rogue behavior - like resorting to whataboutery, blaming the EU or even claiming that PWAs are bad.

My theory is that by defending Apple, they're trying to make themselves feel important with their overpriced products.

And if you're European, participate in the elections in June to get more parties into the EU bodies that will take legislative action against companies like Apple. The EU is the reason Apple is even attempting this silliness because Apple was designated a gatekeeper in the Digital Markets Act: one of the great EU acts for consumers.
