Info does not link, but highlight symbols. BTW, why symbols in info are
not linked to their index entries? E.g. the user could press Enter
on a highlighted symbol to quickly look it up. Why isn't this a thing?

Well, is this a symbol?  Example from Elisp info:

‘(DISPLAY PLIST)’

or

‘(:foreground "red" :weight bold)’


These have the face Info-quoted like quoted symbols in Info. So the face
indicates this is a quoted entity (not necessarily a symbol).

If we have a face Info-quoted then there is no need for the quotes, because
the quotes are only text markups which are translated to a face, so the quoted
part is highlighted for the user, there is no point in leaving the markup there.
