AIBU to find references to 'a hobby' on Mumsnet odd?

Why is it whenever a hobby is mentioned it’s always referred to as ‘a hobby’
why the secrecy or it a Mumsnet rule?
am I being unreasonable to find it a bit odd?

They think oddly it will be outing.

Yes, because apparently only five people in the country do macramé/morris dancing/aerial skills/burlesque.

The first thing that springs to my mind is hobby horses.
