How frequently do people rebind F1? IME, never.
But I don't object to adding runtime detection of the help keys.

Most people will never rebind C-h. Those who do could rebind it to a
character that cannot be used in this situation because it is already
bound in various prefix maps. Having two alternatives there increases
the probability that one of them will work.
