Of course it doesn't. The cancer of advertising didn't spread to Apple's OS yet. Doesn't mean it won't, though.

  The ads in the iOS App Store search results are concerning. They may be the beginning of the end.

    You can see further community norms in software breaking down. There are already semi-ads in Ubuntu's MOTD. Few days ago I did `npm install` on a project and saw literal ads spamming my console, asking to maybe support some library's author on Patreon and notifying me (a dozen times) that said author "is looking for a good job".

  Apple has no problems with regularly spamming me with notifications to use iCloud, upgrade to new macOS or to use AppStore features. It's coming there too.

    I use a macbook, an iphone and an ipad - I get notified about the the MacOS update about once a year or whenever it comes out. I've never seen the other notifications that you mentioned.
