It helps you be conscious of your eating habits. Anyone with a largely sedentary lifestyle/job will benefit.
>exercise and eat real whole foods.
There are many ways to exercise, and eating mostly "whole foods" is difficult to implement. There's no ambiguity with fasting. I do agree that your recommendation should be a goal, just not the minimum effort.
Going for a walk 20 minutes a day could be a good start. It may surprise people how resistant they are to this habit.

That is way too hard for a lot of people. The simple "eat/no eat" is not a bad way for people to start on their way to better health.

If forcing oneself to just walk for 20 mins (thats a lazy 1km, I've managed to walk cca 3km 2 weeks ago with broken foot and ripped ligament through wild forest) is too much, good luck with convincing anybody with such mentality that now is the real "no eat" time, consistently.
Skip the fasting; exercise and eat real whole foods. It's pretty difficult to do both of those things and not lose weight.
