Right? It shouldn’t be that hard. It should be possible to enable E2EE for this using a private / public key approach, where the app delivering notifications encrypts them using a private key unknown to Apple, but it’s encrypted such that all the devices receiving the notifications can decrypt the notifications.
Also, for anyone really worried about this, there are modified versions of Android that avoid using any cloud notification features (including the Google one that spies just like Apple’s). I know that doesn’t help if you want to use an iPhone, but phones do exist that bypass this whole thing. It’s also one of the reasons I wish Apple would open up iPhone more. Why do I get the option to remove the spying features on Android but not iOS?
