Apps do also ask you exactly once if you want notifications.

And you don't have to install any apps. Use the sites if it's the same for you.

I want some sites to send me notifications just like I want some apps to send me notifications. I don't want websites to turn themselves into otherwise useless apps just to be able to send me notifications.

But they'll nag you forever to install their app if you use the website. Like Reddit's constant stream of dark pattern pop-ups and ads for their app.
