A deprecation warning is not actionable for typical end users. Why don't more warnings include calls to action?

Instead of a warning that says, "The get_widget method in libfoo is deprecated and will be removed by November 30", the warning could say:

"This app uses the deprecated get_widget method. Please report this bug to the app developer. Ask them to fix this issue so you can continue using this app after November 30."
