Why in the hell do push notifications need to be generated on google/apple servers? I'm sure our phones are more than capable of processing the information from the app to the lock screen.

20 social media apps polling the internet for new messages every minute (or more often) in the background is more strain on the battery than one service requesting for new notifications. If that's useful or not depends on the installed apps. Apparently you can selfhost such a server and background service, at least on Android.
