Is there a way to have hidden wallets in Monero GUI? In Trezor Suite, all wallets are hidden, so you could have 5 decoy wallets and one "real" one, so you could get a reasonable chance to survive the infamous $5 wrench attack. In Monero GUI, however, and AFAIK, I can see all the wallets from the menu (and I think they can be found on the computer itself, but not sure).

Is there a way to make them hidden so I could only access them with a passphrase like in Trezor, or some other way?

If Monero is to gain traction, at some point people will trade with people around them, and not all of those are good people. Having multiple decoy wallets seems like a good way to prevent trouble...
