revisit: Rewrote the "why this matters to you" hook.

Operator decision, 2026-08-19: whyItMatters.outcome is now the page's primary hook and every analysis was rewritten to a single short, concrete, human-stakes sentence (docs/EDITORIAL.md, Permanent standards #4) — replacing several that had grown into full paragraphs or abstract policy-thesis phrasing. (Iran's years of investment in the Houthis pays off as leverage the group uses on its own account against Saudi Arabia — not as an order Tehran gave — and global shipping absorbs the cost of a fight it isn't party to. → Iran armed a militia it doesn't fully control — now global shipping is paying for a fight that isn't even Iran's.)
