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.
