I feel it’s important here to distinguish between “H doesn’t matter [like, at all]” and “H is not a crux [on this particular question]”. The second is a much weaker claim. And I suspect a more common one, if not in words then in intent, though I can’t back that up.
(I’m thinking of conversations like: “you support X because you believe H, but H isn’t true” / “no, H actually doesn’t matter. I support X because [unrelated reason]”.)
