My thinking is that surely being able to be seen from a distance away isn’t an advantage.

Gravity, vision, and cover.
Gravity: Throw a rock and let physics do the work. Very effective with little effort. Same applies to anything. Spears, arrows, boiling water/oil, etc. Same applies to charging. Trying to run uphill to challenge a point is much harder as oppose to the people running down at you with gravity helping them.
Vision: You mentioned it, just reiterating that it’s harder to hide secret movements on the low ground. People on the high ground see much further and can step back and move to a new/unknown sport.
Cover: People on high ground can fight back with only top half of body showing. Granted, one of those parts is vital, but it’s a much smaller target relative to the body. If you’re shooting up, but aim low you hit dirt. If you shoot down but aim low you can still hit the body or legs, potentially disabling the target.
