The person you're citing is completely misguided, the change has nothing to do with what they're observing -- in fact, the change would fix their problem, as tags authored in non-Mastodon software that are not included in the body of the post would become visible for the first time. My change would also not remove a hashtag from the end of a paragraph. Only if you put it on its own line.
Is it time for hashtags to evolve?
Well, they're about to on Mastodon due to an upcoming change in v4.2.0, advanced by nostr:npub1xzmt2d95f7watzyqktl982d7jfe5ptktusv4j20csz8nxxgmhq6q30eykm himself.
I have some thoughts.

Do you have a set of tests I can look at to better understand the behavior you've designed? I was relying on the screenshots in the Github issue.
Also, I was unaware of this: "as tags authored in non-Mastodon software that are not included in the body of the post would become visible for the first time"; are you saying that ActivityPub already supports non-inline tags on posts?
