Transparency. 

But another reason why details of private filters shouldn't be public is that
they give insights into how the filter works. The point of having private
filters is obfuscating the code, so that a spammer or whatever doesn't know
what to avoid. Right now they have a convenient link to all the filter's
previous hits, with a diff for each and every case where the filter prevented
an edit, making it easier to figure out how to circumvent the filter.
