Comment:

 The phrase "This address is used for admin purposes" has some redundancy
 now that it is adjacent to a label that says "Administration Email
 Address", which has me thinking it could be replaced completely with
 something more like one of @Ipstenu's original ideas of being more
 descriptive & intentional...

 For the single-site site-level `admin_email` setting:

 {{{
 Receives system notifications from recovery mode, site health, automatic
 updates, password resets, and new user registrations.
 }}}

 And then `if_multisite()` we'd change it to...

 {{{
 Receives system notifications for this site, and used when sending
 password reset emails to users of this site.
 }}}

 ...and then the network-level `admin_email` setting would say:

 {{{
 Receives system notifications from recovery mode, site health, automatic
 updates, password resets, new user registrations, and when new sites are
 created.
 }}}

 Thoughts?
