It seems like a dearth of documentation to me.

It might be helpful in some cases. It can for example point out that
by invoking rm on 5GiB file you won't get 5GiB of free space. Multi-hardlinked
files also need special attention while making archive, etc.

Yes, it makes sense to me.
As you are not the first user confused by highlighting of multi-hardlinked
files I am not in complete opposite in making it as non-default, or even
reverting the change completely. I am ready to make the appropriate changes
once we have a consensus here on the list.
Note the idea came originally from Ubuntu wishlist:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/123423
I just found it useful and therefore wrote the patch. I didn't realize that
such change could bother other users, which are not intersted in colorizing
of multi-hardlinked files.
