It looks fine to me. (Firefox / Android)

It's perfectly readable on my phone and with various device dimensions set in my desktop browser.

#5PWA - progressive web app, delivered via the web, html, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

#6I don’t use any PWA’s and I am not so sympathetic from claims of harm from removing/deprecating PWA’s without some data on the size and impact of this change.
Xbox Gamepass presumably would be the largest one/best example, is that how they ask people on iOS to stream games?

Me too. Using Safari on iPhone now. Is it intended?

#9"Apple looks set to argue, contra everyone else subject to the DMA, that the moment from which features must be made interoperable is the end of the fair-warning period, not the date of designation." is an interesting point I hadn't seen before. I was under the impression that as long as they removed PWAs before the final deadline, they'd be able to claim they were complying in good faith. But I suppose that might not be true, and it could actually be as-of the warning period?

I can't speak to whether this is still true, but there was a time period where Apple would reject certain categories of iOS app store submissions and tell people to just make a website - 'simple webview' type stuff, like apps for a small business etc.
The natural response to that is to make a PWA if Apple says you're not good enough for the store. Now that option is going away, so I can understand if people who previously relied on it are ticked off.
