Your explanation was clear. I disagree with it; the code is not at all
obvious in its intention or operation.

Naming the parts descriptively, and writing a brief synopsis docstring
for each function, is a way to address that. Which is my motivation for
this thread.

You're making my case for me: To anyone who doesn't already know exactly
what's going on, that is not at all obvious from the code as presented
in the first message.

The nested function implementation is not the problem, as I hope I've
made clear elsewhere in this thread.
