I kind of agree with you. There is an argument against showing it to maintain a certain atmosphere on the platform. However given it is freely available to view on kbin and I believe Mastodon (ie. it is entirely public), it surprises many users. Previous assumptions that it is private were maybe incorrectly confirmed by not seeing it here. Perhaps a warning of some sort before you are allowed to cast your first vote.
