All this information is in the systemd-journalctl man page and the
systemctl man page already has as SEE ALSO systemd-journalctl(1).
I'm not convinced that duplicating that information in systemctl is
helpful. The systemctl man page is already long enough as it is.

Also note, that systemd-journalctl also warns you on stdout if you are
running as non-root user and you're not in group adm.

I'm inclined to close this bug, but leave to Tollef to have another
opinion on this.
