It does if you enable outline-minor-mode first.

Indeed, tho you can work around that with

   (defun my-hide-region (beg en)
     (interactive "r")
     (outline-flag-region beg end t))

But obviously, it'll be a bit crude (e.g. no commands to unhide, tho you
might be able to use reveal-mode for that).

That wouldn't preclude us from providing the "more manual" functionality.
