They mean push notifications where you need to store a device identifying URL to push your notifications to.

If traceability is a concern, using the native iOS notifications is not much better, you just move the burden to Apple (which I assume will be more than happy to cooperate, given they're an American corporate), so nothing is really solved.

The only good solution is your own backend which knows nothing and each app installation maintains a permanent WebSocket connection, then you push them to each client.
