Hmmm. I agree there is no great importance to hypo-modes now but maybe a concept to learn from it. They clearly made a point in having both so it seems somewhat important to understand why. As for C lydian's finalis being G, I think your mistaking. Finalis refers to the resolution, in C lydian it would have to end on C. Otherwise it would be a different mode. But starting on C and ending on G is different, and I'm sure you've heard that these hypo- modes are also referred to as Plagal. Well the plagal cadence is IV-I, and G is the fourth (IV) under C. Make sense? I think this is the key in understanding that hypo and regular modes are different. If not, it is quite a concept and makes perfect sense to me.
