I think this is the reason Apple is reluctant to add it. There are very valid reasons why a user would opt to receive web-push notifications, but its mostly niche apps/usages. The vast majority of push authorization banners are from sites you visit for the first time, with hardly any engagement or interaction nor clear intention of allowing web-push ("We think you want unsolicited notifications because it is better for our business model")
While there is no fix for dark-pattern usage of web-push, browsers and OS UX must make it super easy to withdraw notification consent anytime.
