One of the best ways I could tell my elderly mother to ignore malvertising is to tell her that no such alert exists. Now, nobody is gonna put pegasus spyware on my mom's phone, but if this is real, I think it adds some complexity for those of us who support less tech-savvy people.
Now bad actors can try to make things pop up that look like this. Or they can try to spoof and say "this is a new, advanced alert that looks different from the standard because this is super high priority" etc.
Apple's probably doing the right thing. They're really good at stuff like this. But it has added a new level of complexity that is going to confuse some people.
