There is no detailed description of this particular line in the git history, but judging from the code it was not added because commands won't work on invisible regions. The comment ";; Make the subtree visible" also implies that it is intentional. So, it looks like making sure that the archived subtree is visible is intentional from the very beginning. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
