I agree. None of this stuff should even be requested before the user makes it clear they are actually interested.
I like that I didn't have to permanently disable push notifications in Safari to stop those awful popups asking if I wanted them. Apple knows that people will say "no" 99.9% of the time. It makes more sense to make the user jump through hoops the one time they actually want it than to incessantly nag them every single time they make the mistake of visiting a new web page.
