Gender-wise, for privacy's sake.

i hid my wish list to save people from headaches since i have 345 series, but i opened it. my other lists were already open. i don't get why you'd want to see what i've read if i don't ask for reccomendations. you can get enough info about me through my posts. and viewing my wish list is even more pointless.
anyways, all's open for you to pick at, if anyone does this.
While your wish list might not be useful, if I happen to find someone who seems to have similar taste as me, looking at the things they've completed (and rated) or recommend, etc. (especially now that custom lists are available) can be handy.
hmmm yes, the customizing IS very handy! 😀 i guess i wrote the question incorrectly. i meant for it to deal with why the OP wanted to know why people hid their lists, but it turned into something else. there's not much to guess about, unless a lot of people think like Sagaris... 🙂

I don't hide my lists (except my on hold list) and even my gender 😛
Yeah, first it's full of shoujo and now it's dominated by yaoi, whatever... 😁

I'm keeping a list pretty much to keep on track of what I'm reading. I think they're public though. But I'm missing so many mangas from the list, so I'm adding them little by little.

I don't really hide my lists. I recommend manga a lot on other sites and it's easier to link people to the lists. The ones that are hidden are the ones that I don't think will help others.
And I'm not worried about stalkers so up goes my gender. Female. rawr.

Because mine is embarrassingly short because I don't update it XD
Seriously someday I'm gonna do it though...

Most of my lists are public, a few are private. Those are the ones that I don't see a point in sharing, nothing of too great an interest on them.
My gender is public as well, although one could probably tell from most of my posts that I'm female.

I don't. I only hide the wish list and unfinished lists. Mainly because I don't want them interfering with my stats as unfinished manga are ones I didn't like and I have so many on my wish list it's a gurantee I won't like them all.
I don't hide my gender either, just my birthday for security reasons. But age, gender, location etc are open for anyone who cares enough.
The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

it makes recommendations far easier as then people can see what you've read and what you're planning to read so they won't repeat those series

For me it's not a conscious decision to hide it. It's rather a matter of being lazy I think. I've got my completed manga made public but as for the reading and wish lists I see no use in publishing them. The series I've got there will show up on the completed list when they're completed so to say.
As for my gender I don't hide it. Would be pretty silly considering my nickname here on MU, I think 🙂 . I only hide my birthday (not age though) because I don't feel that's important information.
