How do you keep milkers and scammers from using it to minimize the visibility of what they are doing? There is already a problem with people hiding milking in comments, and creating a ton of work for people trying to track that down and keep on top of it (generally unpaid or minimally-paid work at that). Do you really want to give them another tool?

FWIW my recollection was that the experimental tag used by @burnpost was once hidden (which was why I originally used it for @burnpost). I don't recall when it changed, but I'm really not sure it is a good idea.

Decentralized systems require us to think about not only how features can be used but also how they can be abused. Easily abused features need to be reworked, removed, or countered with some other offsetting benefit for the "good guys".

Finally, it may be ugly that these posts have visibility but is it "bad"? I personally think both projects are a benefit to Steem (sure not everyone agrees, and they should vote accordingly). In the case of @burnpost, when it had just a few whales supporting it, the rewards were generally around $20. As it started to get visibility, it also got more support, as more Steem voters saw the initiative and decided to support it. There is now a lot more burning happening as a result. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so, and neither do the voters who have joined in supporting it.

Cosmetics matter, but they aren't the only thing that matters.
