Shouldn't unlisted topics be excluded from "Related"?

Unlisted topics are excluded from search results, for good reason. But they are showing up in the Related tab below a topic, where they’re not very useful either:

You can see unlisted topics in the topic list because of your trust level. And I think that’s the reason why you see them in related topics too, which makes sense to me.If these are no longer relevant at all, it might make sense to delete them instead of unlisting.

I still remember clearing all the unread posts in unlisted topics because discussion had continued after I could no longer see it, from my suggested topics in 2024.

I did wonder if it was due to trust level – but since they are excluded from my search results, it seemed strange that Related behaves differently. I’d rather not see the noise there as I’m researching stuff, but if it’s intended, I’ll pipe down.
