Actually, that's part of the reason for the shift into calling them
"onion services" -- many people offer onion addresses for their website
or service because of the many other security properties they offer,
and not because they want to hide the existence or location of the Tor
client offering it.

If you're in the "wait, they're supposed to be hidden, I don't understand"
camp, I encourage you to watch our CCC talk from last year:
