> This sort of notification-barrage is a common problem in mobile apps with multiple teams

That makes me think about how everyone defining an operational alert/warning thinks theirs is very important, leading to so many that users time them all out and everyone loses.

It’s especially frustrating when DoorDash will happily use notifications for both order status/issues and spam various deal/promotion notifications. There’s simply no way to turn them completely off so you only get order status notifications on iOS.

I ended up disabling notifications completely (and eventually just deleting it)

You can get order status via SMS. That way you can disable all notifs
For the team that worked on a feature for month it's the whole world at the time of release. Being mindful that is not the end-users whole world, but just a tiny insignificant fraction is something easily lost in denial.
