Why did the latest update for the S8 do away with the text message pop up that was unique to ths S8?

Now when a new text message is received get the normal heads up display. But the previous one was better and had a nice animation to it.

Tim in this video shows it off and he is also using a Verizon variant so proof it was there as well. Go to 3:40 into the video.

Nevermind, I just found out that the popup I'm referring to does indeed work when edge lighting is turned on and Samsung Message is set to use edge lighting.
