Going after macOS for throwing up too many notifications? Talk about living in the most brittle of glass houses. Also, I'm no advertising expert, but when one already has a solid market majority, the wisdom of running an ad campaign that can't stop talking about one's competitor...
I'm not sure I've ever seen a non-microsoft app send a proper system notification on Windows. They've made such a hash of native development it might be too confusing for developers to use. On the other hand, MS themselves do like to find new ways to put MSN tabloid feed notifications in front of me.
My favorite bit of the notifications absurdity is that Windows 11 has recently started interrupting me with notifications to let me know I've been ignoring notifications from an app, and offering to disable notifications for that app. But these "notification suggestions" notifications cannot themselves be disabled, short of disabling the notification system for the whole OS.
So they're close to being able to take a hint, but still manage to maximize the annoyances even when trying to be helpful.
It's like Windows just needs constant care and attention. I find if I haven't booted the system in months, it goes berzerk on me with notifications. Everything crawls to a stop while everything updates at once if I'm lucky; if not, random services just don't want to start until another reboot once the system starts responding. All OS's have psychological problems, and Windows seems to have attachment disorder.
