I don't find myself giving Apple props on web decisions very often, but the way they're implementing Web Push is objectively the best way it can be done, and the fact that Apple people are upset about it is somewhat baffling to me.
On iOS, a website cannot nag you to accept push notifications unless you've done "add to homescreen" to turn the webpage into an "app." Once it's an "app," then it can prompt and ask you if you'd like push notification.
I've spent years getting irritated on Android when every goddamned website begs to enable push notifications, I've said yes to exactly zero of them that I haven't also installed as a PWA.
Requiring that a page is installed is better in every way, and I wish Google would change their model to match.
