Any source for that “Apple just doesn’t care”, as opposed to thinking there are security/privacy tradeoffs or other considerations that cut against such a feature?

If Apple can store the sms/iMessage, and email history, and health/journal history, and my Wallet payment history, in a safe manner I would think Apple can store notification history in a safe manner. How would notifications be meaningfully different from these? I think the proof of Apple’s level of care is in their lack of attention to this issue.

that is most of the EU legislation making/operating companies, getting access to banking, hiring, etc.. all those things are catered towards multinationals by endless bureaucracy and requirements that need consultants/lawyers it's by design

At the same time there are plenty of European companies, so clearly the increased barriers aren't a deal breaker.

That’s pre-Snowden

Nothing has changed post-Snowden, other than that the general public have gone back into a state of apathy on the subject of reigning in their out of control surveillance state.

Yes, the US has an intelligence agency called the NSA, which works with intelligence agencies in the five eyes. There is something called the five eyes agreement that does draw that line.
