This reminds me when we were working on a business push notification app, much like WhatsApp business but back in 2015. Apple required users to allow push notifications for the app when installing. If a user disabled push notifications then it effectively stopped the app from working as it's sole purpose was to send push notifications. So to try combat users turning off push notifications without realizing what they had done, we would prompt them to say that turning off push notifications would stop the app from working. We submitted the app to the app store and Apple rejected the new version saying that we were forcing users to enable push notifications.
I remember being so frustrated with this process of trying to convince someone in Apple who just didn't seem to understand why this would make sense. They cited that it was a poor user experience but I can't imagine a worse experience than a messaging app that never received push notifications.
