I've seen this be requested for years from various mod users. Is it too difficult to implement or something?

They say a hidden profile is not secure enough so not worth implementing.

I rather have this hidden profile that would stop 99% of criminals than what they have now.

I think their approach to this project is to deliver real security at the cost of features.
