Comment:

 @s3w47m88 Thanks for putting forward the suggestion. This ticket was
 discussed in a triage session in slack (the link requires a Making
 WordPress slack account -
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1588829702393400).

 It was noted that there are plugins providing this functionality and that
 the option can be modified through code using the
 `wp_password_change_notification_email` filter.

 The feeling was that the reasons for including this as a core option were
 not quite strong enough to warrant implementing the feature and that this
 might actually reduce security for lots of users. Given there are
 available alternatives, the best option seems to be to close the ticket.
