I think you missed or forgot about the discussion of "interrupts
vs. polling" in your computer architecture and/or OS classes.  :-)

I would much rather get interrupted by an email telling me I should/could
update a package than spend my time polling one or more web sites to see if
there is some issue.

YMMV.
