A non-malicious website could activate some alternative UI for giving you news if you disable notifications.

Maybe because of the privacy implications of web workers keeping connections/checking for new notifications in the background?

"Because you've declined to get notifications for Slack"

It may require bandwidth and CPU to check for notifications.
