From what I hear, most users disable notifications.
You can do like Airbnb and send text messages.
You can do Bluetooth in JavaScript through the Web Bluetooth API.

A little caveat of Web Bluetooth API is that it's like WebUSB and mostly available on Chrome. I don't think Chrome for iOS is using blink yet so you'll probably not have access to this API on iOS.
Both WebUSB and WebBluetooth is still a draft spec, and is doubtful to progress any further with both Mozilla and Webkit objecting to it

https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#anti-fingerprinting
Essentially, these are proprietary that are a part of an embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy by Google Chrome.

Where’d you hear that? Surely most users don’t change defaults.
There isn’t a default on iOS, you’re prompted for each new app when it requests notification permissions. People have found that users hit no a lot more when the app prompts with no explanation than when it clearly explains what benefit it has to the user.
Then the flood of notifications gets ignored, with practically the same result.
