Love the sentiment here. Whoever is reading this should try disabling all notifications ever.

There really isn’t a need to know when someone messages you or you get news.

Doing this helps you focus more both for work but also for chill time.

Totally agree with this. I have been advocating this since 2014 and points to my article whenever someone asks me. It needs an update but the general idea is still valid. I do have notifications for some key specific events such as Health, timed events in the calendar, and selected people who can call, etc but otherwise it is pretty quite almost all the time.
