PWAs could answer this problem, at least to some extent, but Apple historically has been limiting the features to protect the AppStore and the Apple Tax (v. the recent local persistence changes in ITP).
It's better than, say, Google pretending that third-party cookies make the web a safer place (yup, that happened).
(Don't get me wrong, I think ITP and Safari are great)
