I agree; the problem is that such notifications are currently not
planned in Echo/Notifications.

Quoting from my post on WP:VP/T:
"It seems to me that this noticeboard would be yet another suboptimal
workaround to a proper channel for topical notifications.
Echo/Notifications was once presented as the solution to this problem,
but "public announcements" are currently listed as "out of scope" <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo#Scope >. I don't know what the
timeline is (if any) for the support of topical public announcements
in Echo."
