I encourage you to reach out to the plugin authors that do this and tell them when it annoys you. They might just change/remove their notices once they know it is a nuisance to their users 🙂

This is happening in themes because users have told me they did not like it. I passed those reports along to the theme authors. Theme author decide to change it because they do not like users to be complaining.

Not everyone is being ‘forced’ to change it – many authors are willingly changing it because they realise that annoying their users cost them more than they earn from the notices. I hope this results in positive benefits all round 🙂
