Why are unauthorized channels viewable in the get channels endpoint?

[kkrypt0nn]

PS: This is more of a question rather than a suggestion.

I've been wondering for quite some time why users who do not have access to a channel can still see them, including the topic field, when requests are made to /guilds/{guild.id}/channels and when doing a request to the channel endpoint such as /channels/{channel.id} you get the expected response

{
    "message": "Missing Access",
    "code": 50001
}

Why not actually make it non accessible to users who are not supposed to have access to it? Is there a specific use-case or intention behind that decision?

If this has already been asked, I'd gladly read more about it as I find that super weird on why it has been made like that in the first place when the user is clearly not supposed to have access to that channel.
