Most other “indie” games are not indie under that definition, too.

It ends up being initially “Yes I want my app to notify me about important updates” but then the app abuses its notification privilege to start spamming you. I want my banking app to notify me when I get paid and when bills clear. I don’t want my banking app to tell me about a new low interest rate I can secure on a loan.
The app at least had granular notification settings I could go in and change, but then it ends up being a periodic battle of attrition against changes to the granular notifications that are always opted in by default every time they add a new category. I turn off “offers and promotions” in an app but now it offers “recommended deals” or some garbage.
