So you can build a website that runs on iPhone using some other browser engine that requests permission to use the camera...
But if you want to move that website into a PWA that runs on iPhone that uses some other browser engine that requests permission to use the camera then, that browser engine can't be trusted?
I think PWA integration architecture needs to be rebuild for supporting different browsers and it was not a priority because of low usage (their words).
I can imagine an architecture where every pwa does not run a whole Safari instance but just a tab. Then all those ‘app looking’ pwas run in the same actual app.
Or they just dont trust google to make no native apps anymore for the app store…

Just more evidence of their Anti-Competitive practices, giving preferential access to Safari to the system.
Where Apple are providing the 'platform' (i.e AppStore) and are competing against other users of that platform, those departments should be treated as any other user of the platform.
Safari/iMessage/etc.. should only be able to use the same API's that every other developer can access and should have the same level of access to the AppStore as every other developer.
