I haven't really noticed this until people started talking about it. I've gotten the "sky" information in an icon in the Sirius/XM app. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 14.2. Usually I ignore the sky info since it is not what I'm listening for and extra information. Plus, it does not seem that intrusive to me, just a short blurb added onto whatever I'm doing. I can see how it would get annoying though.
