Because if lay users can see how I vote within the app, then I might start being harassed by people for daring to downvote them or daring to upvote someone. And may stay tracking my voting habits.
In which case, I'd probably stop voting.
Having a barrier to that info is better than no barrier even if it's not impossible, imo.
If someone tries to harass me about how I vote I'll just block them.
