Because the majority of people don't know how to adjust app notifications. And the rest of us don't want to adjust it for every single rogue web site.

Apple vets apps for their use of push notifications and will warn/ban them if they use them excessively or for advertising purposes. Obviously they can't do the same for PWA.

Mixed feelings here, as a developer I would love to send push to iOS, as a user I agree with you, every time I check my parent's android I have to spend a lot of time revoking permissions from websites.

On android these notifications are abused to send shitty content, maybe a change at the OS level to warn the user in a more prominent way? Like these modals that won't allow you click until X secs have passed.
