if you ever send a push notification that includes the text “T&Cs apply” apple should delete your developer account on the spot

Does iOS have notification categories like android does? Keeping adverts/promo in their own category should be enforced, so people can turn that shit off without hitting notifications they care about.

On that note, is there a plan to fix notification categories for the app? They were introduced but aren't used at all (everything is sent to "Miscellaneous").

Technically apps that use ads in notifications aren’t even permitted in the App Store in the first place. Unfortunately Apple’s own services team has been violating that rule with impunity for years so it’s effectively a dead letter.
Excerpt from App Review Guidelines highlighting rule 2.5.18 which reads in part “display advertising should be limited to your main app binary, and should not be included in extensions, App Clips, widgets, notifications, keyboards, watchOS apps, etc.” 1
