It used to be against App Store TOS to send marketing notifications full stop.

Apple isn't interested in fixing this, they allowed it to happen in the first place.

They can't fix it because governments would consider it anti-competitive. Same reason the browser can't come with an adblocker.

Similarly, a cookie blocker can't be a domain blacklist because the people on the list could sue, but it can be an obfusticated ML model.
