If Apple can store the sms/iMessage, and email history, and health/journal history, and my Wallet payment history, in a safe manner I would think Apple can store notification history in a safe manner. How would notifications be meaningfully different from these?

I think the proof of Apple’s level of care is in their lack of attention to this issue.

Ephemeral transit layer owned by third-parties constantly,

vs

cold storage of secrets your architecture owns from start to finish.

This is a good description of SMS and RCS.

and also a good description of Apple APN notifications being pushed to a Garmin watch,

or a car,

or your off-brand earbuds.

Which, again, is not meaningfully different. Yet it seems you insinuated so. Can you explain in detail?
Hopefully it wasn’t you who flagged me after asking me to explain in detail…
I did not flag you, but I certainly see why someone might.
