Yes, no need to use them but there is a need to serve them since a significant portion of stackers use iOS (unless we want to tell them to get fucked):
Turns out you need an Apple developer license for Safari push notifications which costs $99/year (it's not about the money, it's about the message) and I had AppleID login issues again. It wasn't working in Brave, I had to use Safari on iOS to login and try to enroll.
Then, they wanted not only my money but also my data (ID verification). After I uploaded the required photos, there was another error which simply said that something is wrong with my account and I should contact their support with a link to some generic support site. What a way to tell me to get fucked.
I guess Apple hates me as much as I hate them.

Fortunately, I didn't need an Apple account to file a bug with WebKit ↩
I couldn't even buy it from the official store because I couldn't register an AppleID account due to signup errors. Bought it from Amazon then. ↩
