I think he's just wanting Whyte vs Joshua II to be the MEGA HW FIGHT in the UK vs he wants to make Wilder vs Joshua be the mega HW fight in the UK. And he's probably thinking Whyte is a much easier unifying fight than Wilder so its better career positioning to have Joshua WIN his next big fight or look crazy good in it like I suspect he would vs a predictable, lesser foe.
I don't see Hearn being like a Arum-like promoter who overly protects his fighters. But I think he does see the upside in a in house HW unification fight (assuming Whyte can beat Wilder) being an optimal outcome for Matchroom plus puts him in position to make his Joshua in the US move with Joshua as The Champion to make a bigger mark out of the gate in the US.
