They may assume such, or want it to be true, or feel like it is the best explanation for unresolved scientific questions. They believe in the possibility of this hypothesis. I believe in the possibility of this hypothesis (mostly because I want it to be true). I doubt very much you'll find many, if any, who are as sure of it as you are of your hypothesis. My level of certainty regarding this hypothesis is zero.
The Yahweh hypothesis is still incalculably less likely than that. It is just about infinitely close to zero. The only thing less likely is the hypothesis that Yahweh was created by some yet greater being, which is a hypothesis I've never seen a Christian admit is possible.
