It may be silent for some people and you're intentionally ignoring that. For someone who has an account but does not regularly log in, this change is silent. Yes, you saw the message, but that was by chance. Many others will have this feature silently enabled without their knowledge.

"I didnt get any mail. I also havent checked my mailbox for packages."

"I didnt get your email. I have not logged into my account lately."

It seems like semantics. You expect facebook to send an EXTERNAL notification to an operating system like ios/android or to an email provider like gmail/hotmail. Other people consider it not silent for facebook to make sure it shows up in their newsfeed.
