I think the difference in magnitude turns it into a difference in kind.

Fraud alerts are something I asked to have sent to me, so to me it’s more of a tool doing its job. A tool I chose to use. Similarly if I decide I wanted to be alerted about severe weather, a notification isn’t just “technology contacting me”, it’s a tool I use, performing its expected function.



It seems like your rule is a lot of complexity all to say you don't like push notifications, toasts, or modals that are advertisements.
