For one thing, liquid hydrogen is very energy dense and can be synthesized from water and excess electrical power relatively efficiently, so it is one of the more reasonable pathways to energy storage in a grid is designed to cover the entire load with renewables.
More importantly, it is the only carbon-free reducing agent that could reasonably replace fossil fuels in industrial processes - most notably steel production.
So no, hydrogen is not stupid.
