I set inhibit-splash-screen to t in .emacs, so I didn't see this
warning.

Out of curiosity, I tried to set inhibit-splash-screen to nil, and I see
that this warning is still easy to miss even with
inhibit-splash-screen=nil: this warning is outside the main text area of
the splash screen and is not specially highlighted, e.g. in red. Instead
of that, in red are only the line:
GNU Emacs is one component of the GNU/Linux operating system
which attracts all attention.

Showing this warning at startup is not sufficient for people who disable
the splash screen, so perhaps it should be displayed with `display-warning'.
