I do not understand why
As elo can vary thanks to luck/partner skills, the highest elo serves as an outlier quite likely to be caused by those very things. Factors that have less to do with a player's actual skill than external factors coming together.
I see that as a trophy, not as a skill indicator. Same when you end first in a tournament
Trophies have an achievable requirement. "Finishing first in a tournament" is a specific action a player can actually do. "Highest elo" isn't, it's just a static fact, so it cannot be like trophies on BGA.

It would be for me, far more than all the chocolate medals that are handed out left and right.

You clearly did not understand my post. For a trophy, there is a "before trophy event", where you don't have the trophy, and an "after trophy event" where you do, which does not exist for highest elo.
