This actually is pretty amazing advice. For many, those mental blocks that prevent solid habit formation can and are some form of aversion that isn’t the task itself but a side effect there-of.
For neurodivergent people it may not be the case (self included) but a symptom of their issue. I have ADHD, so my lack-of-focus is far more “chase the dopamine” than “aversion to a part of the task.” In this case, I would get no pleasure in brushing my teeth. Being important wouldn’t matter. But the advice would still sorta apply, in the changing it up to get past the aversion, so like I’d have to make the task of brushing my teeth entertaining in some form. And just changing toothpaste could do it. Or do it to music if I liked dancing. Or whatever.
