I think the reason they have it there is b/c it requires fewer database calls if it just shows up for everyone. In other words, it would have to perform extra database queries for everyone when drawing a page in order to decide whether or not to show the image. This way, it only runs the query when the link is clicked, which reduces the load on the server.
