You can turn off push notifications for normal apps on Android, too.

But it's opt out vs opt in which is a huge difference.

Really? Huge difference? I would say about 20% (being generous with that number) of the good apps that I install try to misuse the notification. I don't find it that hard to disable the notifications for them. The benefits of notifications outweigh the spamming by a lot.
