If Apple decided to implement the Push Notification API for Mobile Safari, it would be very beneficial to the users of my forum websites. Now I’m forced to build an app, while my forums users are all happy with the website as it is. They just want push notifications and I’m convinced Apple is holding that back on purpose. I bet there are internal emails about that issue as well.

I hate that half the request for push notifications are used for websites to spam me.

True. Apple could make it impossible to request permission. I’d be okay. As long as users who want it have a way to enable it.
