I guess they're showing now, or I was doing something wrong before (or, everyone was, given the number of upmods...)

No, you're right. They show for some results and not others. I used to show them for all results, and maybe I should just go back to doing that.

Definitely, because you have many more types of links than a normal search engine--some of them are requests for clarification. A URL tells the user "This is a 'hit' that will take you to a different website".
