So then the HTML files I manage in ~/public_html can't be accessed in my
file manager without using hidden files?

The solution isn't to hide files you don't want on the desktop.  The
desktop is a workspace.  I might very well want files that I know about
and work with that I don't want on my workspace.  These are like two
spheres overlapping - files I care about, and files on my workspace. 
These spheres are not the same, but they do overlap.
