Hyphengate?
There are certainly some situations in which hyphens are optional (double-barrelling of surnames, for instance), but they lend meaning and clarity to writing in others.
In modern English in general, the use of hyphens is decreasing, especially with regard to compound nouns. While hyphenation of such words was widespread several decades ago, nowadays these nouns either tend to be written as one word:
playground
headdress
riverbank
seafood
or as two separate words:
house plant
dog collar
road bike
