Summary: Apple introduced PCM [1], and to keep people from using it for cross-site tracking it limits the bits available to a single site (as defined by the PSL). If shop-a.retail.example and shop-b.retail.example are completely separate, and don't want to compete for bits, Apple will still treat them as a single site unless retail.example is on the PSL. Being on the PSL is a big change (partitioned cookies, etc) but could be appropriate for different shops.
FB issued guidance suggesting domains like retail.example consider getting themselves added to the PSL, and now the PSL (a volunteer project) is getting a lot of requests. The PSL project has put these requests on hold, and asked FB and Apple to work this out. FB is talking to Apple in https://github.com/privacycg/private-click-measurement/issue...
