Yes, and a few rare users do that.

However, I don't know that users that don't do it are 100% against being contacted by other HN users.

It's possible they're just hiding their email to prevent the usual marketing spam (my own position).

The OP question is about wanting to DM others.

Not about wanting to be DM’d.

DM would be what is called an “attractive nuisance.”
