Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Apple has confirmed that it is intentionally removing Home Screen web app installation in the EU, claiming that it is necessary for compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). However, the decision directly circumvents the DMA. Apple's actions are probably prompted by its fear of losing control over app distribution and the associated revenue.
