And newer versions of Android have notification categories for each app.
So if the developer does their homework I can turn off particular notification types and let others through, and that way you can -gasp!- actually have a messaging app that only notifies you of actual messages, instead of constantly begging for your attention for a bunch of superfluous crap.
And if I go to the notification settings for that app and it doesn’t have a category I can easily drop, it either gets completely silenced, or it gets uninstalled.

Experience shows that most apps, especially the ones where you would want to disable a subset of their notifications, do not support that.
So in most cases I will just disable them completely and if I feel generous I will remind them about this feature via a play store review.
I think it’s becoming a play store requirement for apps to use various “notification channels” or whatever it’s called, so hopefully the all or nothing behaviour will disappear in time.
Orrrr as you say apps get totally silenced / uninstalled, I don’t have the patience for that kind of stuff anymore.
