What are you talking about? "Untrusted websites" can't send push notifications. Being able to send push notifications requires a browser-level popup dialog that the user explicitly has to opt into, for each individual website. There's no drive-by API that lets you spam random website visitors with push notifications.
I don't see how you could "make a website that abuses them just to make [your] point." No one would bother enabling notifications for your abusive website, and even if you managed to convince them to do it, they'd just turn them off for your abusive website as soon as you started spamming them.

Ironically, I use that feature for installed apps most (you're a banking app, stop bugging me with unrelated news!) and hardly ever to turn off a accidentally allowed web-notification.
