Notification Categories ?

I really want to understand why this is a buried setting on Samsung Phones. Make it make sense. 

In order to be able to change tones in any app you first need to go to settings, notifications, advanced settings and toggle on NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES to just be able to do this. Why isn't this on by default?

No kidding! It's on by default on Android devices from other OEMs. You can't even change it!

[DogGoneIt1989]

It doesn't make any sense at all!

[Mujibar]

May I introduce you to Samsung?

[DogGoneIt1989]

To bury it like they have is frustrating!

[Mujibar]

It's part of their charm

Maybe, justifying this community?

I found it on my own

[Mujibar]

Same. I might've read about it in an article somewhere, but that would've been many years ago.

Exactly. Why is it even an option? Why wouldn't you want it on?

No one can even guess at the reasoning behind it. I have a feeling they said, look what we gave you, options we took away in the first place.
