Best explanation for me so far. Problem I see is that the same resources constraints could be on the Subscribers (limited connectivity, limited uptime) and the protocol does not address it?

Good question. I don't know if the proposal addresses it directly, but as subscribers have to provide an HTTP endpoint for notifications, I would expect that subscribers would not normally be end user devices but rather gateways similar to SMTP servers or application APIs.
