This 'ignore' argument is kind of silly. It would be just as easy for me to ignore this service as it would an email. If anything, I'd argue that I'm going to pay attention to something in my inbox far more than I would some service.
I think you're blowing the whole thing out of proportion. When there is an error on my site, I fix it. If there is a bunch of duplicates, I fix it faster since it shows me that something is broken.
My product is just a website. I don't need to implement this in 'every language' that I use. I have the backend email me when there is a problem and I have the frontend email me when there is a problem. Since I fix the problems quickly and I don't write crap code all the time, I generally don't have a lot of problems.
If it works for you, keep doing it. :-) But many companies run more than just a website, and I think that's who these services are primarily targeting.

Problem, what problem?
