It's really not. Even just "hidden" would be less of a problem, though there's a reason nowadays it's usually "appear offline".

"Hiding" conveys "this is a feature for people with something to hide", which is not the way you want to present something like this to people who want it or need it. I don't give a fuck, I'm just a privacy nut, but someone who genuinely needs protection from a stalker or abusive person in their life might not be in the best place mentally, and the little stuff adds up.
