That's not what happens, see Bug#50785.

Having a face is exactly the way to give users control over what this
looks like.

Of course, the error face should not just remove any faces that are
already there; that precludes making e.g. keybindings stand out with the
`help-key-binding' face.  So you would need to give the error-message
face lower priority.
