Votes fundamentally cant be private due to the way Activpub works otherwise anyone with an instance can spoof an arbitrary amount pf votes (u can do this with extra accounts but its a whole proccess).
I think its cos the devs have very strong political opinions and are only now realising they are losing control of the narrative due to said open nature. The open nature of federation (and the free speach it enables) is our best strength that has the capability to reshape the digital narrative towards a free (as in freedom) and inclusive future.
