The use case for this check is forcing code bases to carefully control what symbols are exported rather than just exporting everything. So if someone took the time to explicitly set the visibility of one of these symbols we care about then we should assume they knew what they were doing.

The specific use case I care about for this check is using -fvisibility=hidden and then checking to make sure a certain curated list of symbols has explicit default visibility.
