Issue is we produce documents and we should allow to cater for user preference,
but hyperlinks are a special case as they have e.g. visited colours (which by
the way does not happen anyway in Calc, see bug 44189) and need consistency
across the file...
I do agree that we need to have a more uniform handling of hyperlink formatting
across components. Currently the fact that users consider a variety of factors
that include OS/DE + Application colours + character or cell style + direct
formatting is not good UX.

For the problem described here, the actual issue predates 7.6 and is that we
can't change the auto-formatted hyperlink style or direct formatting like we
can in Writer (in which a Hyperlink character style is used). It's the same for
the font colour (which can be worked around by using Tools > Options >
LibreOffice > Application Colours), and was the same for the grey highlight
before it was removed.
The cell style is unrelated: it can give a hyperlink look to a cell if needed.
See how it can be useful in bug 134456 comment 6. (That bug was originally the
same issue, but was redirected to improving documentation.)

Maybe this is linked to character style support requested in bug 108220?
And compatibility with how other suites handle it has to be considered, see bug
113337.
