Any downside to using hidden stop orders?

I would like to use Interactive Brokers to set hidden stop orders for stock index futures. I found out that this feature is available on TWS.

I am wondering if there are any downside to using this feature. If there are no downsides, wouldn’t everyone be using hidden orders?
