Yes, I'm discussing Help, because that is what this bug is about.

No one suggests removing the quotes from texinfo files. They should be
hidden by emacs when displaying help, because in 28 the symbols are linked
in Help buffers, so they stand out already and they can be clicked to get
immediate help about them.
