AFAICS this behavior can be controlled via customizable variable
org-cycle-hook { M-x customize-variable RET org-cycle-hook RET } by
removing entry org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change.

IDK.  AFAICS you are right with your argumentation.  I don't see the
need of that feature, though, yet.  But that's just me.  I think you are
the best candidate to try an implementation of the feature.
