I was following this and it did seem to appear in the beta -- I'm not sure whether it has been removed in the GA version listed here, or if they simply haven't mentioned it since it's perhaps a browser rather than WebKit feature?

... I assume WebKit has had support for this for a long time, since Safari on macOS has long supported push notifications.

Safari on macOS does not support the web Push API[1]. Apple has a proprietary Safari Push Notification service that requires all notifications to go through Apple's servers first[2].
