Message alert on iPhone when also wearing Apple Watch.
I miss so many messages because my iphone will not alert me to a new message if I am wearing my Apple Watch. I know folks have complained about this before. Why can Apple not address this issue?

I'm sure Apple could change the way notifications worked if they wanted to. However, they way they work was a deliberate choice that Apple has shown no signs of reconsidering.
Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
I suggest you make sure that you change the settings in the Watch app on your iPhone to make Haptics prominent. That helps some people.
