I agree with you that its irrelevant.
The best way to think about mortgage rates is to compare it with your disposable income. The interest rates don't matter in a sense that a home with a 5.5% mortgage rate may be less affordable than a home from the 80's with a double digit mortgage rate.
How much do mortgage payments today eat up my disposable income? This is the correct way to think about it not the interest rate today compared to the past.
