That was originally addressed when people noticed that the 'feature' disappeared. It turns out it was not a planned 'feature' but a bug that was introduced upon fixing the bug the duty list returned the behavior to what you have today.
It was not an intended 'feature' and the bug that was fixed just happened to have the side effect of giving us what appeared to be this feature. As this was not part of the original design or feature set they could not just leave it alone as other systems in the game were not written to handle or deal with this, they could have risked data lose problems as data was not setup to be persisted when hiding items.
