People love swapping Minecraft seeds because it allows them to share unique experiences. Like if something really cool generated, other people will want to see that thing happen!
To deny players this would be a huge error - seed hunting is a non-trivial community engagement factor.

Both can exist, no?
Lots of games that use procedural generation don’t have public seeds or a way to input them sometimes, so there’s plenty of precedence that people want the opposite too.
