Don't they already force every browser on their app store to use the safari engine because "security"?

Yes, however the EU enacted new regulations to put a stop to that practice, so that Apple will be required to allow other browsers on their platform.

Disabling PWAs is how Apple has chosen to retaliate against those new regulations.

Yes, although that recently changed in the EU (only) with the Digital Markets Act.
