Lots of companies dump all notifications into the same bucket, either out of laziness, or purposefully to make it less likely you turn off their spam notifications (looking at you Oculus).

Facebook only appeared to divide notification into categories when its data misuse unfolds. Several years ago (if I recall correctly), turning off one broad category will indeed nuke the "nagging" notification, but also turn off legitimate ones as well.
