What messenger doesn't? Signal, WhatsApp, Matrix, Snapchat, Discord, Telegram, etc. I'd say "most" is pretty accurate. No idea what Wechat does, but that's a whole different story.
Also not true. What you "see" could have been retrieved post-notification, as described in the message you responded to. What you see has nothing to do with what goes through the push service and is a full technical inacurracy.
I don't know about others, but Mattermost sends everything by default. first to mattermost's server, then from there to firebase/apple. there's a setting to not send message body, but it's not set by default
Hmm, does that mean "most" since it... matters most? Eh? Eh? Ehhhhhhh?

Yea not sure why they don't do that by default since they claim they are a Slack competitor. You'd think a corporate entity would want that.
