辛みがついてピーマンっぽさが 消えて助かるよ！

It gave it some spice and toned down the pepper flavor!

Here, the subject of 消えて助かる seems to be the inanimate peppery flavor. But I
thought て助かる is used when someone got the benefit of something, which implies
it has to be a sentient subject.

What's a good way to understand this sentence?

question
usage
て助かる with inanimate subject
One way to understand is to think the subject of 消えて is ピーマンぽさ, and that of
助かる is the speaker. So literally the sentence means _I am saved by the hotness
added (to the food) and the pepper-ishness disappearing._
