Entity not updating via Automation when marked as not Visible

The problem

I have an automation that updates a Switch (switch.turn_on) This automation works perfectly and how it should, as long as the target switch is Visible.

I wanted to mark the Switch not visible, because I don't want it to appear on my Area Card ("Hidden entities will not be shown on your dashboard or included when indirectly referenced (ie via an area or device). Their history is still tracked and you can still interact with them with services."). Hiding the switch works as it should, but now the automation does not seem to be able to trigger the switch anymore. I see in the traces that the automation is executed, but the state of the switch does not change.

As soon as I make the switch visible again, everything works again.
