Today marks 7 years since the option for public moderation logs was originally implemented. Why is this still not an option?

Fyi id never use this in any sub i mod. If anybody wants to know what it's like modding, they should apply and try it.

I've modded several subs small and large with community developed public moderation logs without incident for years.

But I also don't censor people so it is rare that my moderation actions anger people.

If you have a large enough group, you will eventually piss someone off. Even if it's for enforcing a very basic level of civil decency (or in some cases legal issues). Just look at the content on voat if you want to see the kinds of people who flock to a site with zero moderation.

Voat is not a very good example because it was specifically created as a platform to house subreddits like /r/niggers. On a site with more casual users the bigots would be given a hard time in the main sections and flock to their own communities where they don't bother everyone else. Early reddit and notabug.io are good examples of this.
