All the cynical comments about Apple's ecosystem motivation certainly apply, but there's one much more mundane reason: UX.
The best PWA still feels vastly worse than native versions (my reference is Twitter) and for Apple that's a huge factor, which I respect a lot.

If you wanna talk NFC... how many people do you think are gonna buy apple's proprietary NFC broadcaster? either way though apple could use the same API to call a public website instead of a private call to a handicapped app. They're still downloading MBs of data. Not sure how big most websites are these days but I would surprised if most app clips don't go right up to that 10MB limit.
