In normal RPGs, these are just field abilities that don't take up by progressing through the game that don't take up moveslots in battle. Which is what Sun & Moon did with Poke Ride, LGPE did with the Secret Techniques, and SwSh did with Flying Taxi and Water Bike.
HMs were always an ass-backwards system that was unlike anything in any other game.
