In my case it is even written down, including their responsibility to give timely feedback. I think it's normal and healthy to remind them.

What I did say is that if you take it upon yourself to remind your boss how and when to do their job it's very likely they won't like it.
-
There's two elements to what I'm saying. One it's not your duty. Two if you do it be careful because it can be seen as rude.

This all depends *a lot* on the supervisor. I hope one day when I supervise others they feel comfortable giving me feedback.
-
Having said that, I also hope to have covered my job's basics! And set expectations / duties to expect from me.

Exactly, but giving you feedback is their duty to many extents. E.g., everybody in lab should be expected to give feedback to manuscripts.

Or give feedback to presentations, etc. But not expected, i.e., not obligated for manage you, the PI. It's not their duty to manage you.

If you ignore them and don't reply to your students' emails that's your mistake and not their fault for not reminding you.

I agree it's not the students "fault", but there's a lot of grey area between crap advisor and pretty good but busy/aloof one.
