This is not something I am capable of studying myself, but I don't see how anyone interested in the VM can dismiss this as uninteresting. Where did it go after Kircher, why did it remain hidden (or at least unnoticed), who might have corresponded about it... All matters of interest.
I suppose my approach may seem reductive and myopic, but by far and away my interest in the Voynich is in the goal of decipherment.
By far the highest probability for a certain decipherment is finding a key. By far the highest chance of finding a key is understanding where the manuscript has been physically located during its existence. Any place the manuscript has been stored constitute our best chances left of being the location of a key, if one exists. That’s why l care.
