It appeals to the people who think a tiling WM looks cool but can’t be bothered to do the most basic documentation reading to install and configure it.

Not any of the ones that I follow. Perhaps that’s a signal to curate who you listen to.
I’ve been using tiling window managers for 15+ years (Mostly awesomewm but also ion/i3). I tried using the tiling extension for GNOME and it was pretty awful. Maybe it has improved since then but last time I checked GNOME still couldn’t handle multiple workspaces on multiple monitors the way I want so that’s a nonstarter for me. I’m currently using Hyprland on Fedora because i3 and sway couldn’t easily replicate some functionality I had in AwesomeWM when I migrated to wayland.

You can just get a tiling extension for GNOME and it just works, or use sway or i3 there’s no reason for hyprland to exist.
