Don't get me wrong I agree with you ... and for my use-case it's exactly what I am doing... I did fib a bit earlier, I do have Zigbee2MQTT setup with a Sonoff USB but no devices connected and am not really adding anything (I have a conbee stick and a few UZB-7s as well)... but again I like to tinker and am into most things tech.
There are smart people here who either lack the desire to go deeper with this stuff or maybe feel doing so might be too technical a challenge right now so for them I would recommend the "Hubitat Way"...
