Gmail, outlook web, whatsapp web, slack web … just some examples of webapps that I use or used in the past that someone might legitimately want notifications from. Maybe you don’t use them, or are not required to use them for work, and that’s fine.

Company’s gitlab to have notifications pipeline (that I usually monitor when I push)
I use it for my self hosted apps, but yeah, it’s rarely useful for websites in the wild.
