Excel, iPads and Hidden Tabs

Oh. My. Excel.
Apparently, when you "Hide" a workbook tab in Excel, even if you "Protect" the workbook & its structure, it's PERFECTLY visible on an iPad or a Mac using Numbers. [Gulp.]
The workaround is so super simple, I can barely wrap my mind around why it's not the default instead of this "Hide" command.
I found it here:

Can someone please explain why this isn't common, widely discussed knowledge?
