This is because currently, there is no way to express that a .desktop
file on the system should be hidden from the user. This may even be
intentional: how would you "bring back" an application you have removed?

In all cases, as it is about standardization, I welcome you to discuss
it either on desktop-devel-list (the GNOME development list) or on
xdg-list (where freedesktop.org standards are discussed). I'm leaving
this bug open as long as the situation isn't clarified, but I don't
think the BTS is the right place to discuss such things.
