I thought it was specifically for a dying, dead, or at least inhabitable for basic humans world.
Yeah, the definition has been stretched from time to time. It doesn't help that 'uninhabitable,' as a descriptor of a worldline, is subjective. 2, 3, 4, and 6 are good examples of definite Hell worlds, while 12, 15, and 16 are much cozier apocalypses. 1 and 11 are still hellish, but after a transition or recovery period they would probably become stable alternates.

Pretty sure that alone qualifies it as a hell world. As for general asteroid threat worlds, if there's a reason to be interested in a particular world, I presume Homeline might try to help save-the-world efforts by slipping research secrets to the right people, and if the worldline isn't even remotely capable of managing it, then they might consider using hail-Mary experimental approaches to save the world themselves.
