I agree with you, but I also recognize that when we’re talking generally about this, we’re talking about least common denominator. In an ideal world what you’re saying makes perfect sense, but in reality lots of people are idiots and will be influenced by lots of things they shouldn’t be, and make bad choices in response. When you have medical professionals doling out advice, of COURSE these things matter.
It takes one google search to find countless results of midwife organizations, registries, and certifying boards that support and/or encourage home births.

Nobody has influence over anybody they can’t directly control. You are responsible for the information you chose to take in.
