Persistent notification is one of the best parts about using an always on VPN. You can check the status really quickly

Would be better if it were optional. The little key in the status area is more than enough indication for me. A persistent notification is not a notification, it's a hack.

The hack is the aggressive battery optimization in some phones that don't respect the native Android battery optimization settings and still kill apps.

I get it, and i guess the fault is on Google for not providing an alternative for such apps. Still a hack though, because such things don't belong in the user's notifications.

It is optional unless I misunderstood. You can disable the persistent notification by disabling VPN notifications in the Google One app.
