Yes, but you would first have to click on someone’s name to ‘discover’ those badges. My hypothesis is that not many people do so, which means many users won’t learn about the available badges.

Agreed, that would be bad. That’s why I said "_show selected (not all!) badges"_ - I imagine having a very small number of such badges that would play a key role in our community.
