I am trying to figure out this system, I am a Newbie you can tell. When I look at a QSO I cannot find the Locator information, e.g. the Maidenhead Square. Is there a good reason not to display this information?

I can hazard a guess why the locator information isn't presented which is unless the operator enters it for each QSO there isn't a way for the system to determine what it actually is.
Although "My Gridsquare" is a valid ADIF parameter for input, if it isn't output by the logging program (mine apparently doesn't) there won't be data to display. I have many received entries which do display the gridsquare and many more which don't.

The problem of not seeing the locator information is, therefore, not an eqsl issue but one that belongs to all the users. At least, that's how I see it.
