What is the point of perfect IV's if you aren't using something like Hidden Power? If you have a nature, let's say Jolly, and have 5IVs with the SpAtk being the one that isn't perfect, does it really matter in the long run? Is it just autism?

It doesn't matter. People who get caught up on the SpAtk IV being perfect on physical attackers are a joke, but are far and few.

You could argue that it matters to have a 0IV in Attack on your special attackers to minimize Foul Play damage, but at the end of the day, most pokemon function just fine with a penta perfect spread.
Same goes if you plan on using Trick Room, but then you're still looking for a penta 'perfect' spread just one of the 'perfect' IVs is 0 instead of 31.
The only time you ever need all 6 IVs is for mixed attackers or Hidden Power, like you mentioned.

When most people say perfect I.Vs on a normal (not mixed sweeper) they typically mean perfect for every stat it uses.

If you want a specific Hidden Power and perfect IVs you're going to need to do a LOT of breeding and checking.

HP isn't even particularly good, with its horrendously bad base damage. If you can get typing some other way, you're better off not bothering.
