Why do users need to get notification of merge requests?

Why is it a blocker? What's actually wrong with it? What about it means
that people that need or want merge request notifications can't get it,
even if it means they have to ask one of the developers of the app,
which makes sense given that they could then change the merge request
status (thus assuming a small amount of a "developer" role)?

Note that repeating "it sucks" over and over isn't an acceptable argument.
