I'm guessing that LDAP needs to expose the users list to all users
just as anyone can view the passwd file on any one system, is there a
technical need to expose all of the users to any user logging into the
UI?

The UI does not remove any privs. That same user can run the command line ipa user-find and get the same results. Additionally, the user has the ability to query the LDAP server directly. Thus, we decided to leave the ability to enumerate all users, but not to advertise it. We did remove tabs for other things that the user can do, mainly because some of them pointed at operations that the user was not allowed to see (Roles, for example, and Sudo commands for another). We had to draw the line somewhere, and that is where we decided. It has the added benefit of letting IPA work as a company directory.
