why do hairs grow differently (usually thicker and faster) coming out of a mole?

I’m not sure if I can add on to a question, and sorry if this is stupid, but is there a reason why someone wouldn’t remove the hairs? (other than preference of course).

I’ve seen a few people with moles that have an extremely long hair growing from it, like 2-3cm. Just curious after seeing multiple people with this if there’s any medical reason behind leaving it? Is it extra painful to pluck compared to normal? Or more likely just the person’s preference?

I’ve never had hair grow out of a mole so I really don’t know!

Edit: interesting replies thank you!
