I've heard people say this to downplay a group. Is it logical?
"if x group didn't exist, another group would've done what they did"

It's completely illogical.
There is always 0 proof for another group taking over and doing something another group failed to do. Every situation is unique, and anyone who says that lacks confidence in the artist/group they support.

Makes very little sense to me

Is it logical?
Yes it is

Yes it is
so if BoA didn't exist, someone would've paved the way in japan
-
-
That doesn't make any sense. If BOA didn't open up Japan then Kara would have never even tried or even thought about conquering Japan.
-
What makes BoA think about conquering Japan, doesn't she afraid? There must be someone who paved the way before, means BoA isn't the one who paved it

No one knows how things will work out so saying some other group which may have taken their place makes no sense. It's like thinking of I wasnt born then my parents second born would've done the same things as me which obviously no one can ever guarantee (and most things certainly wouldn't happens since I'm a boy and 2nd is is my sister lol). At most you can only make educated guesses which are just that, guesses. It's basically the butterfly effect, changing 1 thing in the past could completely change the future
Boa came first obviously. What kind of question is that lol.
If boa didn't exist then there's a possibility that SM is nowhere near the powerhouse it is has been for years. She was almost singlehandedly carrying them at her peak as other groups had left or weren't doing so well until TVXQ came a a few years later. If SM doesn't do well then hallyu groups like SNSD or Suju are likely not created thus kpop doesn't expand as much or as fast.
Kara may or may not have existed as we knew them. Remember Hara and Jiyoung, 2 of Kara's most popular members in Korea and Japan, joined later after an original member left very early on. Who knows if those 2 would still join. Kara also could've possibly had a different route in life. No SNSD and WG possibly going to America means Kara likely could've been the NGG for a little while and that would affect Japan plans - do they go there earlier, later or never at all?
And like most other ggs Twice pretty much wouldn't exist without SNSD since not only is Twice based on SNSD but some members like Momo and Sana got into kpop because of SNSD touring Japan.
So saying someone else would've taken Boa or anyo other artists slot is just one big guessing game. There no guarantee of the same things happening if you take a certain part of history.

Wow I didn't even think about that. If BOA doesn't go to Japan then SM goes bankrupt and folds. Which means ALL of kpop goes under and second gen never even happens.
Damn.

No one said the second born tho, it can be the nth born, or your (which don't exist) cousin
Boa came first obviously. What kind of question is that lol.
I don't know which one debuted first

Yup

So, BoA is the most important person in Kpop?

That's an extreme case but yeah Boa was THAT important to SM. Without her and thus without SM the kpop landscape could've very well have been extremely different and maybe worse off. Imo one of, if not THE, single most important and influential idols ever in kpop
-
So, BoA is the most important person in Kpop?
Probably so. She debuted in 2000 and it was her alone who hard carried SM till around 2004 when TVXQ debuted and resurrected idol groups.
Without the money she made for SM in Japan it's very well likely TVXQ and SuJu never come along and carry the torch from H.O.T. glory days.
