Buckmana: we also have to bear in mind that Hawkmoth (in theory) doesn't know their secret identities. So if, hypothetically, he wanted to akumatize Ladybug, he'd have to first figure out her secret identity. Since he doesn't know that, he would have to just akumatize whoever he finds.

You're right that he hasn't ever sensed their thoughts and feelings. But it's also notable that neither Marinette nor Adrien has really had something worthy of akumatization happen to them. The lone exception to that would be with Adrien in Origins, and Hawkmoth was just getting started then as it was.
