Why not integrate most of the hardening techniques in the core WP with option to enable or disable? Some security plugins are already doing this.

I don't think a dedicated security link is particularly warranted. You could make the same argument for performance, accessibility, privacy, etc, which is all documented in the linked support documentation.
