Google is 1/2 of the mobile duopoly. No app developer can avoid Google Play Store (for publishing their apps) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (for sending push notifications to their apps).

Sure they can. They just chose not to. Do not support Apple. Do not support Google. Support freedom.

    Yes, also stop being poor as well while you're at it. Stop needing food and shelter all together.

I have ~800 applications installed on my phone and there are fewer than a dozen of them that I would not immediately uninstall were they to send me a push notification. I don't buy that "no app developer" can avoid using FCM, the overwhelming majority of applications have no use for them besides spamming users with desperate pleas to return to a screen that can serve advertisements.
