Automated Terminal Information Service serves the purpose of giving aircrew any relevant information that the ATSU is obliged to report, regardless if it is NOTAM'ed or not. Many don't read NOTAMs anyway...
"Too much rubbish on the ATIS" can be a frequent complaint made by pilots at many UK airfields and was the subject of a PPRuNE thread fairly recently IIRC, however this simply reflects the growing complexity and challenges facing ever-busier airfields with more external constraints - Danger Areas, drones, wildlife, noise abatement etc.
