The problem is that Web Push requires active JavaScript execution to handle pushes and show the actual resulting notification (if any). (Notifications are the most common but not the only use case of web push.)

This isn't (reliably) possible using iOS APIs.

I'd like to know more about these limitations.

The iOS APIs include a JavaScript runtime engine don't they? (JavaScript Core)
