Class Ui::MainWindow has public pointers to all elements of Yours ui. Just look into ui_mainwindow.h.

It's because you don't have to use it. And really, it's better to hide it, because otherwise people going to change things inside the header file (even if there is a warning) and then complaining when changes are getting lost...
You only have to take care about your ui file where you can see the names, with which you can access the objects. More you don't need. If you need the ui_*.h then you have to code your GUI by hand.
