 it's because Gutenberg affects everyone, even if they don't have the
 capability to install the plugin. Site users should be aware that this
 change is coming.

 of creating/editing/deleting posts then there's no need for them to see
 the callout because they can't actually do anything about it. To a person
 who can only edit a profile, it doesn't given them any useful information
 to act upon.

 the UI when it doesn't effect certain people.

 I totally agree this!

 I would add that "suggesting" the installation of a plugin "potentially"
 very different from its final version, which will be included in the core,
 could contribute to the addition of options that once become obsolete, as
 a result of changes in its development, will remain orphans in the
 database.
