Modal Alert Messages – Why No Script Access?

It’s frustrating that After Effects scripts can’t access or handle the text from modal alert panels. I understand there are technical and security reasons, but as developers, this limitation blocks us from creating more intelligent, user-friendly tools. There should be a safe, official way to catch or read these messages programmatically without compromising security. Why hasn’t Adobe addressed this in a more developer-friendly way?
