I agree it would be nice to have an oil level warning, but there are two main difference between oil level and washer fluid level.
1. The washer fluid is being used up, whereas the oil should not be. Your washer fluid WILL run out; it is a certainty. The oil should not run out, and if it is being burned or there is a leak, it will be slow. Regular checks of the dip stick will detect this before it's too late.
2. Other than the SID warning, there is no other way to gauge the washer fluid level; there is no dip stick, and you can't visually see the level in the tank like you can on some cars.
