requestPictureInPicture() (PiP / PinP) does not work in Home Screen Web Apps (PWA) on iOS/iPadOS. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303885 "Multiple developers have independently reported this issue over the past four years … This significantly degrades the value proposition of Home Screen web apps compared to:
- The same experience in Safari on the same device
- PWAs on other platforms where PiP works in standalone mode".

It's almost as if Apple want to hobble PWAs just enough to make them unviable, but functional enough to claim to regulators that there is a distribution channel outside the App Store and the Apple Tax.
