Your only reason for disliking HMs is your hedonism. You don't like a game actually needing you to do things instead of playing itself, you don't like having to work for things. Which is also why you like gens 6+ giving you free 31 IVs out of nowhere, ways to change IVs and natures, casualized shiny odds, and rare pokemon basically not existing anymore.
HMs tie into the larger theme of the franchise, being you going against a hostile environment, and catching beasts allowing you to progress through. They're a way for your pokemon to act on the overworld. The games since gen 7 are all sterilized, female pandering safe settings like school shit or vacation trip, nothing to do with what made pokemon great. It's time to realize that the "quality of life" generation just basically hates playing pokemon.
I'm not actually expecting inferior beings such as you to understand these concepts, but i felt like trying anyway.
