I have an android phone and it hates me almost as much as apple, but it has better hardware for a lower price, and I can technically use f–droid

On Android, it is really easy to turn notifications off by default, and only selectively allow the ones you need, e.g. from the calendar.
Oh yeah, it's super easy to turn off notifications from any app except the built–in adware.
Until recently (moved to GrapheneOS) I ran stock Android for years and never had an issue with turning any notifications from default apps. Maybe this is different with other manufactures and custom OS version (e.g., Samsung's)? I think the only thing that bugged me was Google Play pushing new features/ways to give them money, but that was only within the app itself when I opened it. Notifications of that sort were all easily blocked. The only notifications I got and get are ones I want (99% of it are messages from messaging apps, calendar reminders, and alarms).
