It's easier to just disable them all by default, really, then I don't have to bother with micromanaging on an app-by-app basis. This is particularly true given that the majority of push notifications are spam.


The problem with off by default is that 99% of users will never even think that is something they can turn on.


I wasn't talking about OS defaults. I was talking about my personal use of my machines. I don't allow any push notifications by default because the benefit of them is tiny compared to the hassle of dealing with them.
