If you're working on the function then yes; everyone learns for loops fairly early on.
If you just need to know what it is intended to do then I would argue you didn't need to read anymore than the function name. If you do look further then I'd argue just the name of the helper function was easier to read than the whole for loop.
It's a poor name choice then, because it actually says less about what it's doing than the main function does.
Besides, what is the point of "looking further" just to stop at another function name? Wouldn't looking further imply the need to review the implementation?
Seeing another function divides the code into another subsection. In the example it's the only one there but if more was added then you could choose where to focus your attention on the implementation.
In practice it turns out the method to make just the first element visible was redundant anyway. It would be made visible during the setup function that all elements call.
