If two distinct hypergraph edges survived in $H$ and shared two vertices, they were an offending pair in $H_0$. The deletion set $D$ contains a chosen vertex from their union, so at least one of those hypergraph edges could not have survived. This contradiction proves that $H$ is a linear hypergraph. Deleting vertices leaves every surviving hypergraph edge of size three, so the construction meets the uniformity requirement as well as the chromatic-number requirement.
