Underlining doesn't make text look like a link.  There are faces
with the underline attribute put on text which is not a link.
It would be confusing for users to think that such text is a link
and try to click it after learning a new Emacs convention of
underlining all mouse-1 sensitive areas.

Also underlining often produces visual clutter, especially
in buffers with high link density like dired, grep and compilation
buffers.
