Some of the Uber competitors use Live Activities for when the delivery driver is on the way/outside, so you can bin their other notifications into a Notification Summary.

I really appreciate Notification Summaries and the distinction of Live Activities and "Time Sensitive" notifications as "can break out of summaries". Unfortunately each app has to opt in to using these other two things for their non-promotional stuff, and also can lie and mark their promotional stuff as "Time Sensitive" (I'm looking at you LinkedIn, which for me is now banned from all notifications forever, you misused them too much and I don't need you).
