After a couple back and forths, issue dropped.
Not true in the slightest. ETOPS alternates are dispatch functions only. Once an event occurs the nearest suitable airport is where you go. If you are going to overfly a suitable airport you’ll need to have a good reason.

They were 36 minutes from PHNL when the event occurred. Basically TOD.
