The lack of notification numbers/icons on Andoid still bugs me though and Samsung does add those. Windows Phones even have/had numbers on their tiles. iOS has them also. The third party versions don't work on Andoid Oreo currently.

Edit: Oreo notifications dots clear all notifications when you open the application which is rather useless imo. Also still doesn't display a number. https://android.stackexchange.com/q/191401

on the home launcher ?

Oreo has added those

Sounds like it is a matter of preferences though, they could disappear and I would not even notice : I read most of my notifications from the locker screen or notification shade anyway

No. I am running Oreo. They do not work like iOS and Windows Phones. It dismisses all notification for that application when you open that app. Not to even mention there is no number.
