As much as I disagree with what Apple is doing here, you're absolutely right.
Not all PWAs are web apps.
Saying "Apple is going to break all web apps" is clickbaity and will only harm this initiative.
I will add that PWAs have been a failure for end users. Almost nobody installs web apps in the home screen.
My phone runs Android and I never install web apps on the home screen or want notifications or push notifications from a web app on my phone. For a time I used Twitter's PWA but they simply didn't pay much attention to it and ended up switching to the native app.
PWAs in principle are great and had great potential but Apple succeeded in killing those by not providing first-class support on iOS and iPadOS. Nobody is going to invest in a web app if it can't run on an iPhone.
