I'd like to know how the image linked above could be considered
helpful to a reader.
Regarding this specific querry: We have actually tested this. We spoke to a few users and seeing the combination of an image, the title and the wikidata description immensely helps visual learners. Not all users learn by reading text. For example: This is especially important for articles related to flora fauna.
Hope this helps Vibha
