You can fight it, but eventually you'll have to get used to it. iOS isn't going back and Android, while customisable, you'll be fighting the OS on that when the notification shade is a huge part of the operating system.
 
Which requires going to the notification center to get them. With the alerts they stayed until dismissed.

Completely disagree. I still use my SE and my iPad on WiFi with the alerts on. It is a much better alerting system than the banners ever will be. I would take that over the banners any day. Actually the only time I use the new phone is when I'm out and away from the older iOS models. I may be the only one that still likes them but we should still have the option to use them.

This is your opinion. A lot of I's. Pray also tell why do you like the alert system so ferociously.
 
Apple should bring back floppy disks and dial up internet while we’re at it.
 
Again though. That is the point of notifications. To be seen and acted upon. Not to be hidden away somewhere to get lost.
I feel that the true point here is how you and other guys understand “notifications”, or rather “tech industries” and users.
Banner notification is much better because nowadays, every single ***** app wants to keep notifying you “hey, you have a new reply on your feed”, “please come! Your base is under attack!”, something like that. If the old style “alert” is still present, the huge interruption of workflow is more than enough to drive some people mad and want to smash their phone.
It is true that for a good’old fashion “calendar events”, it is good to force user to take actions before moving on. Not the case anymore in 2018 as we usually receive 10+ if not hundreds of notifications. Sadly, Notification is still a way that we get important notices. This video explains my main point a bit more in depth.

Hell no! It’s bad enough the stupid call screen still pops up in full screen.
Yeah, so extremely annoying. My work mate complains about this dumb feature several times already!

May they enjoy their lack of sales as they annoy more and more of their users.
Aren’t they enjoy their lack of sales for two years already? Well, I guess they want to enjoy lack of sales for another year. Good for them.

Disruptions are subjective as well just as preferences in alert styles are.
Yup. You know what, I just experienced a live example of intrusive “phone call alert” causing driver to miss the exit of a motorway during navigation because phone call Notification is not the “banner style” you hate so much. No offence, but I agree that “disruptions are subjective”.
