I find it pretty irritating that websites don't put that they allow the free republication of their articles publicly. It's like why are they not proud of that!

The last example I noticed is Canary Media, basically if you saw their website they have almost no mention of that at all.

Till you notice one day this page: https://www.canarymedia.com/about/republish-our-stories

Why is this page not exposed more to the normal visitors who might like to support the libre culture more?

Most media outlets prefer you come to their website or distribution service. That's where they get most value out of possible ads. It's where they collect their own first-person data on their users. As such I don't find it surprising they bury this license somewhere. I'm surprised they have this policy at all. I don't think it reflects their lack of pride in their work.
