I've uninstalled lots of apps when they've sent coupons via notifications. Notifications are to notify me about things I need to act on. They are not a marketing channel. So, yes.

If you had the option to block the marketing notifications but still receive the important ones, would you do that?
That depends. A business that uses notifications for marketing isn't one I want to do business with. If there's a decent competitor I'll switch. If there isn't then I'll decide to begrudgingly put up with it (and probably complain a bit on social media) or to do without it.
So far I've never put up with it and always either switched to a competitor or abandoned the whole thing.
As long as this option is presented before attempting to display any push ads, and not after.
If I could set the default for all apps to "block ad notifications", then yes.
