The ability to hide individual elements in a view is one feature of Revit I really dislike and has cost $thousands in variations on previous projects as items were not shown on drawings.
These items have been missed from drawings as someone working in a view hidden items so that they have a clear working area when trying to figure something out and forget to unhide, meanwhile the drawings are printed and issued.
I know that ideally the missing items would be noticed when checking the issue set but in today’s shortened project timeframes there is just not the time to check every item on every single page of maybe hundreds of drawings in a set

These are good instruments, but for example: We have a complex section. All filters for 3d objects like - layer combinations, renovations - are in ideal state, but some objects (two or three) look wrong, or they must be hidden just for clear look of drawing. Architectural drawings must have a certain conventionality...so i need
opportunity to hide things for just this view! Independently of any other filters.
Instead, I have to hide them with fills or create additional filters that only complicate the work. If the project to go beyond the small private house - this problem becomes extremely visible.

But even so, invisible objects, but not hidden can produce even more issues. Like GO, the ability to hide any objects independently of other filters (Like GO) is one more good thing to make us feel freedom.
You could try Graphic Overrides.
You can't hide with a GO but you can make elements white so they don't print - similar to using fills but more automatic.
You can set criteria to find a specific type of element, or all objects with a particular name or any element with a particular ID.
This way you can 'select' specific elements to override, and then you apply that GO just to the views where you want to override.

Because of "holes" like this, unfriendly programs like Revit take the market!

I don't really agree that there is a need for being able to "hide" single element on a plan or in a section. Or basically anywhere other than in the 3D view... and even there only when working on a model and when there is a need to quickly see some hidden construction.
And even in the 3D, there is already enough options to hide the unwanted elements - either by using appropriate marquee selection before opening a 3D view, 3D cutaway or when already in 3D - just by simply hitting Ctrl+A, deselecting the unwanted element and hitting F5 again.
