You have the option of receiving an email when you get a friend request. As far as visitor requests, all you have to do is click User CP and you'll have a notification there. No real need to add a pop up notification to save one click. The quote notification was implemented because before today, there was only one way to search for responses to posts, the search function, and it was a pain in the assh*le.
