I don't recall saying everything after contact is unimportant.

I don't talk about the follow through much because it just happens after a swing is swung. What I learn from it are the clues it offers as to what may be wrong......or right.

I agree most hitters follow through similarly. In fact most mlb hitters are extremely similar from lag to contact to follow through.

I don't know that I agree that good hitters are still hitting after contact. Maybe it just your choice of words. I would say the direction and momentum of their swing is such that their follow throughs are similar and fluid.

But, I believe all the 'work' was done earlier in the launch phase. And, IMHO, the work is what has to be taught. Teach the work properly and the follow through will happen.
