If Apple is still using and plans to use WO in the future, then we
have and will have killer examples of web apps that validate the tech
and make marketing it to new developers much easier. On the contrary,
if Apple is moving away from WO, this can be a detractor. That's the
only reason I've asked the question.

They are NOT going to release a new version so if they have developed cool new features, you are not going to see them. You have what you have. Either it is better than anything else you can have, and you should use it, or it is not and you should move. If Apple is not using it, then they are either using something else better that is public (unlikely as I don't see it) or they are using something else that is better but private. But how is the latter different from if they are still using WO? It does not benefit us outside either way.
