The real problem is for non-technical users who don't know about all the settings, and view their notifications as "tasks" they must complete. This isn't dissimilar from unsubscribing from emails. The two solution proposals in this article already exist though. (1) You can swipe notifications to the left, tap "options", and turn them off or modify settings - a Tinder-like experience. (2) Apple requires that developers ask users whether they want notifications or not before they can send a user notifications - so unless the user turns them on, they won't get notifications. Most of the dark UX practices come from the app developers themselves, who choose to spam their customers with batches of notifs without building in transparent opt-out features. Products like Braze make this more prominent.
