Notifications have been hi-jacked by corporations allowing them to effectively push ads to your lock screen.

It’s ghetto that Apple allows it, because publishers put these ads side-by-side with actual informational notifications.

Apple only allows it when you add the website to your home screen (a.k.a Install progressive web app). A user only does this when they are actually interested in the site. Once added to the home screen, it is like any other app, and you can manage the notifications from that app via iOS Settings.
