The battery settings do say "battery needs service" once the battery is degraded, and most people are aware that their battery is bad.

Most people don't understand that the degraded battery is the cause of the performance issues (its not very intuitive), so they should explicitely say that.

My iPhone 6S CPU freq is now capped at 911 MHz, which is half the nominal freq. Battery settings say nothing about that.

I‘ve never seen this notification once, having had multiple iPhones that browned-out at 40%.

It's not a notification; you have to poke around in Settings.
