Additional Information

This is an expected behavior. As it is mentioned on the 'Web designer essentials' documentation under the 'Visibility rules' section, "Choosing not to submit the answer is the same as using the relevant column in XLSForm. Choosing to submit the answer is the same as using the bind::esri:visible column in XLSForm.". Refer to https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/browser/create-surveys/webdesigneressentials.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_21723D9039E847AF9E69867C802C695A for more information. On the other hand, according to the Field App documentation under the 'Form expressions' section, "This behavior is similar to the relevant column, with both columns hiding a question until the expression in the column evaluates as true. The primary difference is that body::esri:visible doesn't clear the value of a question that is made not visible by the expression, and submits existing values to the feature layer. ". Refer to https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformexpressions.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_7FC9129E65024B99B5C9A84281597A7D for more information.
