I wish I was popular enough to have to hide from people

Seriously though, who are these people that are harassing other members into going hidden?

It's a matter of hoping to get a reply almost immediately. It happens with fellow team members and newcomers who want quick replies.

As for why Lobo is hidden, I suspect he did if for much the same reason I did. I tend to get a lot of PMs for help requests that really should be posted on the forum anyway and going into hidden mode means I get less. Since Lobo is by and large doing much of the support work I used to do 2-3 years ago I wouldn't be at all surprised if people have started PMing him directly too.

Actually I do it just for the sake of cool.

Those people need to buy a pet or date someone needy.
