Yes, I must agree that it looks far better.
The point of `quotes' is to make these symbols stand out in comparison
to the surrounding text. But the linking face we use is already very
aggressive: not just blue but also underlined. So I think this is by
far already highlighted enough, which means the quotes are superfluous
and should be removed.
Speaking strictly about help-mode, I think removing them is therefore
just sound typography that will make it easier to read the help text.

I have no opinion about Info, as there we do not have any linking going
on. IOW, the extra emphasis the `quotes' add is fine in that context.
About the only drawback I see to removing them from help is what you
say: that we lose some consistency as compared to the rest of Emacs.
IMO, this price is well worth paying to get cleaner help buffers.
