They give players who feel they need these tools an out with the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy but they're exactly right. Any official endorsement of this sort of thing in the game will lead to bullying. "Just private" would not stay private. Others would find a way to force those who want to do things to show those numbers or be ostracized. And they remove the teeth from the harassment part of their own ToS by implementing a tool by which others could be bullied.
