IRL(I know, I know) if you and a friend are carrying an object, there's nothing you can really do if they "fail their check," they're just gonna drop their end of the object. I always interpreted the Help action as doing something to directly guide the other player in something they can do by themselves, if they roll high enough. So in this example, it's the fighter with proficiency in Athletics saying "No no, lift with your legs Archibald. And put your right hand here for more leverage." In that case it does make sense that someone proficient in a skill would be better suited to help another player.</blockquote>
