Usually I click through to the screens and there is an option to “setup later”. The notification then goes away.
Yes, that worked when initially setting it up. Now, these notifications are just hanging out at the top of my settings, and on the settings icon. A “no thanks” button would be nice.

You can turn off notifcations for the Settings app itself. Or just turn off the badge, as that is the eyesore. Sadly, Apple thinks the Settings app is a great way to advertise services, so we just have to ignore it as best we can.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I can turn off notifications for the settings app, doesn’t appear to be available. Maybe it’s an ios version thing.
Some of the setups, Apple requires you to go several levels deep to get rid of them. Siri is a good example, after every OS update I need to actually start settling up Siri, then I cancel and the setup siri notification is gone. The other two you actually need to visit the underlying advertisements where you can say you don't want them.
No you cannot. The Settings app doesn’t allow you to disable or configure its own notifications.
That “special privilege” may have made sense in the past when the notifications it sent were rare but I don’t know why it’s still like that today.

These notifications are the same as Microsoft asking you to install OneDrive etc. All companies do it. Apple seems to think this way is not the same but it is.
They go away for a bit when you click on them, but if you don't obey, they will be back bugging you again. Happens periodically with my iPad. Just as they do on windows. It's all the same.

That pop up keeps coming back because your iCloud backup can’t finish, usually it’s because you’re out of the free 5gb storage or it can’t back up .

Exactly. An ad disguised as a notification to buy more storage from apple. I do have 200gb of that however already but thats essentially what it is. It's also way more persistent than anything that ever popped up on my windows systems.
