Why does "there's a new version of X" constitute an "Error" or even a "Warning"?

Why does "there's a new version of X" constitute an "Error" or even a "Warning"?

I've been building Drupal sites for a while and the persistent "There's a new version of Drupal" or "There's a new version of the theme" errors in all the admin pages has always driven me nuts.

I get that security updates are important, but I really don't think it's necessary to constantly be nagging admins about it. Especially when there are legitimate reasons why you haven't applied updates.

After a while you start to cognitively filter it out. It contributes to "alert fatigue" and I think is an overall detriment to the Drupal site building experience.

Is there some back story about why you can't permanently dismiss the alerts or at least snooze them?

Does anyone have a good module recommendation to do so if someone's tried?
