If nothing else, that’s plenty of time for the real user to see the email notification and complain.

  Sure but if a malicious user is going to request access to someone's iCloud, they can probably also access their emails and delete this one. Reminds me of how when I sign into my Gmail from another computer, it sends me an email saying "alert! someone signed in from this computer!" which I could immediately delete if I was a hacker. Seems useless to me.

    Many (I'd guess most, but I have nothing but anecdotal experience to base it on) people have a non-Apple-hosted email account tied to their Apple ID. Sure, in some cases if someone's iCloud account is compromised, their non-Apple email account is compromised, too, but in plenty they aren't.

    Useless in most cases but at one point I did have emails set to come up on my iPhone's lock screen and such an email would have popped up immediately.

    That's why you setup and alternate email in your google account. It also sends the same alert to your alternate.
