Well, I think a a huge difference between the Hollywood Sign and Mount Rushmore is Mount Rushmore is clearly a site dedicated to the monument. The Hollywood Sign, IIRC, is on public property left flat save for the sign, with no special status. Furthermore, the individual letters are obviously distinct (the letters, as viewed from most angles, have a bit of a wavy roll to their baseline and clearly don't quite face the same angles (most casually obvious at sunset). It wouldn't surprise me if the individual letters are useful to geocachers at a minimum.
