> If you have a mechanism for “only the most essential notifications”, then they simply mark all their notifications as “essential” (looking at you Uber)

then perhaps Apple should say to them “either don’t mark these kinds of notifications as essential, or you get removed from the App Store”?

The solution is tried and true. Let the user mark notifications as spam and have a locally running spam filter.

I'm sure we'll get that soon. Enforcing notification categories is unfeasible for all apps.
