But how does that fix the other 99% of English spelling that is equally broken?

Why would it need to fix everything else? How could a single digraph swap fix any other issue than the one it is trying to address?

The point is that spelling and pronunciation in English are basically so different they might as well be two completely different languages so why bother with that one thing in particular?

Progress starts with small incremental steps? You could say this about almost any endeavor. At least someone is trying.
