They know which devices are signed into iCloud anyway, so they might as well notify users directly.

A computer company pushing pop-up notices to individual computers? No thanks.

Can you imagine how this would be abused by computer marketing departments? It's bad enough when they have your e-mail address.

We already get alerts for "your battery needs service" or "your operating system has an update available". I don't see "your device has been recalled" as being outrageous.
