Because some people are mean and sometimes make fun of or silently judge people because people are that way. People can be very mean and very nasty.
That topic can still be highlighted by searching up the hashtag in the text search. People used to use hashtags on websites that weren’t twitter before those sites implemented them properly, and they worked to the same effect. Either way, as you’ve ignored, corporate social media has no plans to remove this.
If a person has chosen to dilerbertly opt out of stuff for privacy reasons then I don’t understand why they’d want a spotlight on themselves in the first place. What are you talking about?

p.s. Another thing about the full text search vs hashtag thing, abusers on Twitter used to use full text search to target victims, so that was another reason why there was such concern about full text search on here.
Hashtags mean you're totally aware of how search will see your post and you don't need to be so scared of mentioning something that abusers might target.
By keeping full text search opt in and retaining hashtags, it means people can avoid abusers more easily.
