Why does a pilot need to be reminded about 'AIRSPEED", "TERRAIN", 'RETARD", and all the other myriad aural and visual reminders that a modern aircraft flight deck provides?

Could end up in a runway overrun, for instance. Find it strange ? You wouldn't probably have thought of the presently discussed one outcome in a million years just like me.
