Why should it? It's not like the device suddenly bursts into flames or
becomes unusable. The fact that it occurred without you even noticing
says it all. You're looking for a problem where there is none. People
are already irrationally obsessed with their battery health - adding
such a notification would actually be detrimental to the user
experience. Relax and enjoy your iPhone. Leave the babysitting up to
Apple.

Rarely. Several years (5-7).

As a rational adult, I don't let the battery health estimate (and yes,
it's only an estimate and nothing more) dictate when I replace
batteries. When my battery actually needs to be replaced, I know about
it from the symptoms of an aged / dying battery. I don't need a battery
health estimate to tell me that.

Any time. Sorry it's not what you're looking for. (Well, not really
sorry.)
