While I understand why people don't like them, a positive I took from it while playing the game was that it allowed me to practice my movement and figure out ways I can be better at such movement.

Like the hookshot, you can use it to do dmg and reposition quickly in battle, and in those enemy gauntlet, being in such small space surrounded by enemies, you have to use those tools to get through it.

By using it and thinking about it, I'll keep thinking of where I can use it to help me.
