On iOS, such marketing notifications is supposed to be against the developer guidelines but I regularly see Uber, Ubereats and other high profile companies break those rules without any repercussions.

Even Apple has broken that guideline[1]. They have since changed the rule and those are now allowed if the user agrees[2].

For Uber, disable those in Settings > Privacy > Notifications > Discounts and News.
