Perhaps this was answered elsewhere, but:
  "Why is this something ARIN (the org) should take on?"

Why can't (or why isn't) this something that 'many' monitoring/alerting
companies/orgs are offering?
it's unclear, to me, why ARIN is in any better position than any other
party to perform this sort of activity?
I would expect that, at the base level, "I just got random/unexpected email
from ARIN?" will get dropped in the spam-can, while: "My monitoring company
to which I signed up/contracted emailed into my ticket-system for action..
better go do something!" is the path to incentivize.

The question I asked ARIN was specifically:

'how?' (email to the tech-contact? etc? did they sign up for said
monitoring and point to the right destination email catcher?)
