That was maybe a bit early since PWAs weren’t that mature yet

Not only were they not mature yet, they didn't exist. Web apps as a concept did...sorta, barely, but the ServiceWorker API that defines true PWAs wasn't introduced to Chrome until 2015—and Safari (on both Mac and iOS) didn't get it until 2018, over a decade after the original iPhone launched.
