The entire point of these hidden files is that the user should never see them. Otherwise they’ll think, what’s this nonsense?, and delete them.

It should be difficult to see hidden files. And it is!

Precisely. Just as the "Go" menu in the Finder doesn't contain the Library folder, because the user generally doesn't need it. As an advanced user, you can pop open a Terminal and `open Library`, or you use a shortcut: press Option while in the Go menu.
