Then just deny push notifications when the website prompts for them (exactly once). And simply refresh manually to make sure the offline-available website is fresh.

It's not like you're being force-fed notifications against your will. And it's not like offline content hurts you. Any inconvenience offline support causes to you pales in comparison to how much people benefit who actually need to be able to access content on spotty connections.

Offline makes sense, you are right. I'm being privileged.

But for notifications, even the only-once* prompt is an annoyance we never had to deal with before. It's like the European Cookies Law: great in essence, but when every website bugs you about it then the problem has been exacerbated, not solved. I don't care about receiving notifications for a website I visit once in a blue moon, and I especially don't care to be even asked. There should be an action that triggers the prompt, like some kind of opt-in.

Edit: same with "app banners"

*it never is, because cross platform, multiple devices, multiple browsers. A fucking pain.
