what makes having information "hidden between the lines" in a piece of writing good and failing to do so bad?

is there actually anything wrong with being straight forward, or is subtext just "fan service" for critics and self proclaimed intellectuals and academics to circle jerk over and pat them selves on the back for noticing?
