Push notification cost money iirc.
Push requires having a server to push those notifications. That requires having an entire Voyager server that stores your credentials and periodically checks for new notifications, sending them when it gets them.
Money, yes, but also an issue with having a third party server storing credentials.
Why not use UnifiedPush?
I think that's what Lemmy is looking to add support for soonish.
The app can work in the background and periodically check for new messages, just like email clients do with IMAP accounts.
Which would be a pull, not a push.
