I think they know that most people will eventually give in (or accidentally say yes) if they have to close a notification every time they want to do something.
Like you, I aim not to be "most people."
My confusion is how are they allowed to do this. Why do I have to weekly opt out of location services again and again. If they don't want me using the app without it, just block me. There need to be laws requiring all of this crap to be Opt IN if it's devices are mixed with telecommunications
Youe feelings are valid and we should be pushing for proepr regulation.
However, let's be real it isn't happening. This is just one aspect of the class war. Most people are unwilling to go into proepr opposition ie stop using their slop services. They will keep doing this.
It is up to you how much abuse you will accept before taking direct action to punish the parasite.
