Hah I’ve been having the same issue as the author with those scammy “package delay” texts getting summarized in my notifications.

Didn’t realize how widespread that type of spam was until now. Why hasn’t someone implemented better spam detection at Apple like we have for email? It would be nice if they could classify texts as spam, promotions, etc and organize them the way Gmail does.

My guess: that requires bigger models than can run on local hardware, and the appetite for sending emails out to a server for classification is negative zero.
The spam filtering for texts in Google Messages is run on device and in my experience works pretty well
SpamBayes worked great as an Outlook plugin back in the day.
