So I take it you agree they have not been told to implement any APIs, and retract your original claim?
We'll see how the EC reacts to what Apple did with PWAs. The DMA is not a checklist of specific features. It doesn't talk about PWAs, just like it doesn't talk about specific APIs. It's basically just very broad requirements for the big platforms to open up for competition.
By killing PWAs, Apple is preventing competition on both areas where they have DMA mandates, iPhone apps and browsers. (Yes, you can make a browser, but better support for PWAs would have been one of the easier selling points for competing browsers. By artificially disallowing them, Apple is removing that feature from play.)
Now Apple is pretending that their choices were to do a ton of work, or to cripple PWAs as both an app store competitor and as a feature of browser differentiation, and oh golly they just had to do the latter. But in reality they had the third choice of just opening up the platform, which is pretty much what the regulations tried to achieve. That they chose to do extra work to cripple the competition rather than open up seems like the kind of things regulators won't be happy about.
