"There are no message alerts"
 

The yellow button tells us about new messages from Sky.

Why are there never any? For example, the next OS release could be told
of via this method.

No it couldn't/wouldn't.

All that would mean is a million people phone sky to find out what the
message meant.

Very, very few people in the scheme of things understand the technology in
the way we do, even fewer care about updated software (even with its new
functionality).
