Safari has a preference for "allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" (you can also set it on a per-site basis.) iOS is scrupulous about requiring permission for notifications and allows you to configure their annoyingness (plus current iOS asks you if you still want notifications for particularly busy senders.)

I mean, it seems to be a priority for Apple in Safari and iOS.

I'd agree that Apple is the best of the pack right now and Mozilla is also making some improvements.

I think the web platform has a long way to go however -- considering what a low quality experience surfing the web can often be these days, it may already be too far gone.
