Presumably it is relatively simple to spot that an operation did not work, so the contents of the results window are simply telling you why...

I'm essentially a pure VFP writer, so I generally stick to the interface in VFP unless I'm establishing a share between an older project and a new one, so I don't open the VSS Explorer often. I would expect that you would get the feedback you seek in VSS, though.

Agreed that it would be handy to have more options available in VFP's interface, and also that it took a little more effort than I'd like to shoehorn my old projects into VSS, though I do like it now.
