I would argue an even worse situation are apps like Wyze camera that really need notifications enabled to alert you to camera movement, doorbell usage or other pressing events.

They have an option to opt out of marketing notifications but they ignore it if you check that and still send sometimes daily notifications of sales through of their crap.

I’ve used Wyze for a few years and get notifications of all my video events, but no marketing pushes. I think I had to set a setting but I am pretty happy with their pushes and are one of the few apps I leave on.
