I've gotten that message every year of ownership. I assume the shop sets it up. I find it annoying having to clear it. Besides, ever since I purchased my first vehicle, I've paid attention to service and oil change intervals. I tend to hold onto cars for long stretches. You want them to last and be safe, you take care of them.

Unfortunately, those of us who look after regular maintenance seem to be in the minority. A lot of people just add gas and go until something on the car fails.
I've seen quite a few people driving around on obviously underinflated tires, practically bald tires etc. As long as it goes. It's OK.
A co-worker's wife's car had to have the engine replaced. She didn't think that red oil light being on every time she drove for a few weeks was very important, so she didn't mention it to her husband For people like this, car makers have to try to idiot proof cars.
If you've ever hit reserve with your 997, have you noticed that in addition to the gas gauge being in the reserve zone, tank symbol lights up AND you get a message "Consider remaining range."? Of course it won't end there. Cars in the future will automatically steer to the nearest gas station when you run low on gas, because who pays attention to the dashboard anyway (well except for having your email and texts read.)
Unfortunately, too many people don't want to be responsible for themselves.
