It seems more than a decision not to implement. Apple have every incentive to prop up their own ecosystem where they make a cut on every purchase. They specifically wrote a data retention policy for localStorage which was to the direct detriment of PWAs. Mozilla isn't pursing SSBs at this time, but the core APIs of PWAs are still being supported. Their position stems more from a lack of manpower than any strategic decision.

That doesn't seem to be what Mozilla thinks, which is that it was never reliable and no one used it: > “The SSB feature has only ever been available through a hidden [preference] and has multiple known bugs,” Mozilla’s Dave Townsend explains in a Bugzilla issue tracker. “Additionally, user research found little to no perceived user benefit to the feature and so there is no intent to continue development on it at this time. As the feature is costing us time in terms of bug triage and keeping it around is sending the wrong signal that this is a supported feature, we are going to remove the feature from Firefox.” https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/web-browsers/mozilla-firefox/246716/firefox-85-is-here-but-mozilla-is-killing-pwa-features https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/web-browsers/mozilla-firefox/...
