Agree, Web and Flash are completely different philosophies of how platform is developed and distributed. Yet there's a clear resemblance of how Apple pushes back a tech already adopted and liked by many - this can be one of the factors of the PWA demise in 2020s, just like Apple influenced Flash in 2010s

While the decision not to support flash was certainly an important nail in its coffin, it's not like Apple single-handedly killed off flash. Without the important factor of web techniques gaining sufficient abilities to replace it, flash would not have died off.

As long as everyone but Apple will support PWAs, I wouldn't call it killed.
