This seems analogous to complaining about internet protocol for failing to address reliable delivery; reliability is not part of the protocol, so it would be odd to expect it. And when you do need reliability, you can elect to use TCP, and then you have that function. If you want outside observers to not see the connections you're making, then use a VPN. But the vast majority of people don't care enough about hiding the destinations of their internet traffic to bake that in to the more fundamental protocols. I'm surprised to see this posted on such a tech-oriented site.

Unfortunately, I think you've missed the point. My goal was not to complain about anything, it was to raise attention to the fact that security doesn't mean privacy. As a tech site for all types of people, it seems to be the ideal forum for targeting those interested in privacy who fall victim of assumptions and misinformation regarding security. My guess is that you don't fall into the target audience, as you already have this knowledge.
