I dont know, what "the majority of people" are doing, but it is true, that a HUD is an advanced tool, and that you need to have a strong foundation to succesfully use it. But denying HUDs for this reason is a bit like saying, that you wont drive a car, because accidents can happen, if people drive without training / license and while drunk.

HUDs are all about adjusting to individual opponents, and to be able to successfully adjust, we always need to know our default strategy, which we would use against an unknown. Its a branch of the whole GTO / exploitative debate, and to play good exploitative poker you  need to have at least some understanding of GTO, because this is the point, you are adjusting from.

And for sure there are some pitfalls in HUD-data, which you need to be aware off. For instance if someone is sitting out in a tournament, then your HUD will registrate that as a preflop fold every hand. So even if the HUD end up showing VPIP 2 / PFR 1, this does not mean, they have aces or kings, if they return to the table and play a hand :)

Another example could be very old hands, if you have played on a site for years, or very short stacked tournament hands. But you can set filters in the HUD to clean up that kind of data, that might be more misleading than usefull.
