On a normal playthrough, by the time you can actually put together a proper team that works well with their proper moves, HMs aren't that important anymore because there's hardly any places for them to be used anymore.
It's mainly just E4 plus champ, for those you can then remove any HM slaves in your team. The fights before that are easy enough that the HMs hardly do anything to hinder you. It's certainly not the difficulty that people are asking for but you don't seem to be capable of realising that and simply keep saying the same thing over and over, no matter what others say.
If they want difficulty that actually makes a difference, then HMs are not the way to go.
