I think this is going to be just a temporary issue. They ran out of time and had to comply ASAP, as the DMA is going to take effect in a few weeks.
The DMA didn't come by surprise, but I guess they tried to play all their cards to get around it, or even get it pushed last minute. Maybe they were close to achieving that and in the end it didn't work out.
Like mentioned in another post there might be some alternative solutions via third party app stores, but my knowledge doesn't go deep enough into the iOS API and what options third party browsers are going to have.
I could imagine a "PWA Shell" app that can host multiple PWAs inside. The only limitation I see for now is that there will be only one app icon and it can only show up once in the task switcher on the iPhone. For the iPad multi-windows apps are possible.
