No, they most definitely are not. This is something I've never wanted or used, and almost certainly never will.
Why does this feature even exist?
It's sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.
Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.
RSS readers are the way, yes; mail -- most of the time: there are pretty nice Foss options I can trust, although it's not always possible, like with free tier proton mail. As for chat clients, also true for android but not so true on desktops: like, I'm not exactly happy when telegram logs my window manager and so on.
