Quite possibly, the reasoning behind the separation is AFAICT lost in the mists of time.  Major changes to the UI will have to be bikeshedded (nothing bikesheds like a proposed UI change) and will take time.  Adding to the message is something that might happen quickly.

No, its not an "error" it can happen for any number of external situations, temp files deleted, remote systems not mounted, etc

But your point that the information about why should be easier to find is valid.
