It’s more about giving the F/A’s cover, and not forcing our pax to be woke up by a non safety related or operationally important announcement. Most of them hate making that announcement as well.

Yes, those PAs are annoying but if it's required of the FA to do them, you need to back off. You dudes realize there are ghost riders on board occasionally and it's not worth having to answer to that. Fly the plane safely guys and don't get involved in what the FAs are REQUIRED to say and do.
