If you accept a scheduled request, you will most definitely be notified. If you are out driving, it will even stop taking new requests and direct you to the pickup to arrive on time. Scheduld requests are in a different part of the app, so I assume you haven't accepted any. Heck, I will even get notified to pick up a scheduled request I didn't accept if I'm in the area at the appropriate time and no one had accepted it.
The advantage of scheduling in advance is that a drivers are notified in advance. They can accept the scheduled pickup and you will be notified. The app will then remind them to pick you up. It will also prevent them from taking rides that would make them late. While there is no guarantee your scheduled pickup will be accepted, or even shows up, it offers some level of peace of mind. Yes you can schedule a regular ride, but again there is no guarantee a driver will be available.

What makes you think a taxi service is any more reliable? They don't offer any guarantee either.
