I don't understand why browsers would ever not lie about this.

"Why are my notifications for Slack not working?"

"Because you've declined to get notifications for Slack"

This does not seem like a reasonable complaint to me.

But the application would have no way of knowing that to display this message to the user if the browser lies about it.

A non-malicious website could activate some alternative UI for giving you news if you disable notifications.

Maybe because of the privacy implications of web workers keeping connections/checking for new notifications in the background?

It may require bandwidth and CPU to check for notifications.
