Dietary cholesterol has very little to do with health effects, but you swing too far in the other direction by claiming it’s “almost all genetics.” Plenty of environmental factors that can affect blood cholesterol (or more relevant to health, VLDL and LDL cholesterol), including diet.
A big motivator behind the banning or restriction of trans fats in most countries is the clear link between trans fat consumption and cardiovascular disease, including a direct causal link to raising LDL (aka “bad cholesterol” and lowering HDL (aka “good cholesterol”).
Some moderate physical activity has also been shown to significantly improve things like blood lipid profiles, at least compared to totally sedentary lifestyles.
And genetics can affect how much of an effect these environmental or lifestyle factors actually change blood lipids, and in turn how much those stats correlate or cause actual cardiovascular disease, but diet and exercise are still important for almost everyone regardless of genetics.
