In a recent (late sept.) discussion on this list ("Confused about the
explanation for 'org-cycle"), it was argued by Org experts that
documenting every customization variable was not the best way to go.
So maybe this also applies for the particular case of
org-hide-emphasis-markers...

That's not quite right: it should say
" ... documenting every customization variable *in the manual* was not
the best way to go."
*All* customization variables should be documented. You can get that documentation
with
C-h v <variable name> RET
If there is no such documentation, that's a bug. You can also use "customize" to
list such variables (or groups of related variables).
The manual is a good way to start, but it does noe wander into the darker corners.
Fortunately, emacs provides enough flash lights to illuminate them. Knowing about
these is important: it makes your (emacs) life easier, more productive and more
enjoyable.
