Why do you say that? What harm would human readable .onion addresses do? And to who?
Vanity addresses encourage people to only verify the human-readable part of an address before clicking on it. That creates a false sense of security, which is already exploited by spoofed onion service addresses whose prefix and suffix mimics the original onion address.
