Which non-Chromium competitors are you speaking to here? What are some examples of standards-track features that they implement that Apple doesn't?

Lack of any obvious method to actually install a PWA is probably the biggest blocker to PWA adoption today. They aren’t yet a web standard but citing standards always feels like a very convenient argument: there are a great many web features implemented by most browsers before they become standards. Multiple implementations are often part of the standardisation process. When iOS finally implemented Web Push they gated it to only apply to Home Screen installed apps and those who defend Apple lauded the decision. Yet there’s absolutely no mention of that behaviour in web standards. Apple, like every browser creator, takes web standards as advisory and implements the parts they want, in the way they want.
