Even if in the best case scenario, it gives a company direct access to send you unsolicited push notifications.

It's rarely the best case.

You can just not accept notification permission

I think you overestimate the average person's ability to disable push notifications.

I mean, you could just install GrapheneOS and not allow tracking or location data either. I promise that these companies don't care about the .00002% of people who don't play ball.

Dont you need to specifically agree to notifications for the app to send them to you?

Not on Android, yes on iOS. Something they get right.

I get requests for notification permission always in android, since at least android 11 i think?

Edit: I checked, it was android 13
