Could anyone one please tell me what is the purpose of the Web Notifications, other than invasive marketing.
- Instant messaging notifications (e.g. Riot.im, Glowing Bear, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack)
- Changes to files in cloud/collaboration services
Basically, any time you would use a push notification on a mobile device, but when the "desktop application" is essentially just an electron wrapper of the web UI.

I don't get it. Why is this ironic? Did Apple create the performance optimisation tool that suggested WebP?

As an example, I refuse to install a native Facebook application because of privacy concerns, but a web version with push notification support could provide the same functionality.

That's pretty fringey. Given that Apple devices still use the web a lot, including inside apps.
Easily explained! Apple prefers you to use native widgets to make your app harder to port.

They're useful on desktop, for having things like Gmail open in the background, but they're not hugely useful on mobile. Usually if you want notifications you would already have the app installed.
Forums are an example where the website is perfectly fine without an app, but I'd really like to be able to choose whether or not I get push notifications from them on my phone.
"Apple can save the load time if they use the WebP" Says the writer who use jpeg on his article.
