It's great that they have finally added this sort of notification, but how hard is it to just put a "follow" button next to an artist in apple music browser, so I could be notified of only those artists that I'm a fan of? Seriously...

This is what Spotify does.

Pushed by default? I just checked my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it was set to "off" by default.
 
I suppose the splash screen is rolling out gradually even though the feature can be turned on from Music notification settings...? Has anyone seen the splash screen in their app?

Also, hasn't "New Music" notifications already been around for a while now, and it's just the option to see them in your library that's new? I seem to recall getting notifications once in a blue moon for new releases. I hope this feature pushes notifications for all new releases. And maybe in the near future, they'll add the option to customize which artists we receive notifications for.

This is what I was referring to. I maybe received two or three notifications during the past years that "Artists and Shows" notifications were enabled:

Never got a notification before and nothing yet in the Library tab

Apple Music has that too — but that's for information in your feed, not about notifications. They are separate as someone may want one (say album release notifications), but not the other (focused content on their feed about the same artists). There are tons of artists I want album release notifications on, but I don't need them on my feed, and vise-versa.
 
I suppose I would understand the difference better with a screenshot of both options. “New Music” (I assume just a regular push notification) and “Show in Library”
 
Does anyone else not have that same notifications menu? Mine looks like this attached screenshot.

I did just receive the splash screen with this option, and pressed “Allow Notifications”, but still no option displayed in the menu...

Your Notifications section appears to be missing. Go to Settings > Notifications > Music and make sure you have notifications enabled.
