The state of notifications reminds me of desktop shortcuts. Many Windows installers include an already checked checkbox to add the app’s shortcut to the desktop. Most users leave the option checked, I assume out of laziness or some weird fomo. This leads to a hilarious number of desktop shortcuts, almost none of which were ever explicitly added by the user. I suspect this also happens with notifications. Don’t want to be inundated with notifications or desktop shortcuts? Just say no.
