Actually this feature is not just for sighted people. the icons actually do move down the screen so they are easier to reach for anyone.
If you are holding your phone in one hand, or if you have smaller hands, this feature can make it a lot easier to reach the top icons since they will now be toward the middle of the screen. Just FYI.

Guys the swishing sound you guys are hearing is a feature for sighted people. When you touch the home key if you ever so gently touch it twice without pressing it you will hear the swoosh sound. What that actually does is it moves the top half of the screen to the bottom so that people don't have to stretch there fingers to get to the top half of the screen. Don't worry about it, it does nothing for blind users accept to give us a nice sound effect.
