I'd question whether that is real information.  At best it is 
meta-information about the presentation of the form.   If there is only 
one  button, the existence of that button should be enough.  If there is 
more than one button, then there must be cases  where it isn't the one 
to press next.  It's styling, rather than content.

The pulsing may well be distracting to people with some disabilities.

Also this was a tactic used by banner advertisers, although I think it 
has gone out of use, because people have learned to ignore anything that 
tries to attract attention.
