So this is part of a slightly larger issue: when Pacman and pacman-contrib were merged, none of the optdeps from -contrib were carried over.
optdepend note only mentions makepkg, not checkupdates. So if there's
support for users who can't read a short Bash script, a note for
checkupdates should be added to the optdepend.
More than a year has passed and it's still part of the package (pacman-5.0.2-2) with this issue.
I concur with @Earnest's last statement.
