Who knows, may be they can start to send id too by a special request from the server or send those hashes by other channels in addition to this one, but much later. And server can make such request based on some heuristics or based on some 'black list' of hashes. How can you know for sure? We can only guess to the certain degree without looking into sources.

Why would they NOT want the data now but would want it in some unspecified future?

To avoid being caught could be one reason. Why would they hide the feature without option in GUI to turn it off? We do not know. Possibly they are hiding something else, something bigger, who knows.
