Isn’t this somewhat defeated if the service is large enough?

E.g: if I get a signal notification and the notification has no data except “event happened, call server for updates” - and then you fetch updates as a batch - doesn’t the sheer number of people making that same generic batch update call somewhat mask it?

I’m curious where Apple prohibits dummy notifications, by the way - I used them for a financial app I worked on a few years back and never got dinged for it.
