That's a bit like when people like their abusers. "I like that they're strict, they have my best interests in mind, they restrict me for my own good." Don't worry, it also happens with large corporations of all kinds, including Facebook, Google, X, etc.

Well, it's really not that difficult for Apple to provide simple way to install an app on the home screen. Or enable notifications. Or manage notifications. Or get rid of that stupid bar on the bottom of the phone, without going into "guided access mode". They just won't. They lock you down and you like it. You can't trust yourself to manage your own notifications.

Also, email is not notifications. And it's full of spam, because unlike notifications which give a capability only to a specific private key, email addresses can be shared with others who spam you.
