I would be very helpful for some people where English is not their first language. In French the h in th is silent. The th sound does not exist in the language. All h’s are silent.
Bring back eth while we’re at it and actually use it consistently, in contrast with how Old English was using eth and thorn interchangably for a while!
Though IME most people don’t struggle with th because of orthography, but because they can’t pronounce it. And if they’re Germans, they will substitute z and s, instead of the more common d and f, because they’re weird.
