iOS and macOS native app notifications already work the way Declarative Web Push does, not like classic Web Push. This is giving web apps the same ability to be battery friendly and more reliable that native apps already have.

again battery friendly how? because you install them first? please... as I said native apps still abuse notification system(and battery) pushing ads. Apple just hate the web platform, and them trying to push alternative solutions is just PR for how little they care about PWAs and their progression

    Battery friendly because notifications can be coalesced by the OS and processed without having to fire up a full browser engine process and JS VM just to unpack the notification and post a visible notification.

    Even in the case where the app needs local processing to show the best notification, having this as fallback removes the risk that the app misses the deadline to display a visible notification and therefore loses its push subscription (which is a behavior Chrome and Firefox have too).

    We're also not removing classic Web Push, so web apps can deny themselves the benefits of Declarative Web Push if they don't like it.
