>Why would they be uncomfortable having their LinkedIn found by any method?
Harassment.
How would you feel if you broke off a conversation on Tinder and someone moved over to LinkedIn to harass you? That's a real world example that has happened to female friends of mine.
Even if you use a different phone number, email, and photo, just first name + city alone can be enough to find someone on LinkedIn if you know what they look like.
Social networks cause context collapse: we live in multiple spheres, but technology allows those streams to cross, and the result is often unpleasant.
