I member.
And BM wasn't even the most braindead spec back then. Destruction warlock was. Destro literally put up their curse at the beggining of the fight and then spammed shadowbolt for 5 minutes. That was the entire rotation. And there was no DPS penalty, it was the best DPS spec throughout the entire expansion.
I personally like the way bm hunters are easy to do median dps and if you want to apply yourself easily do 300k higher dps at my current gear level (944)
This being said I personally hate MM always have it just doesn’t feel like a hunter, the hunter from back in the day of the original intro video with the dwarf and the bear, a real communion with an animal, that feels like a hunter it’s the whole reason I picked a hunter to play
You're are right that many specs are just as easy as BM on a target dummy. But the fact that BM is ranged with no cast time abilities, high mobility and short Cool Downs makes the spec easy to manage in raids and dungeons. In a dungeons you will have burst damage for almost every trash pack and you don't really have to plan ahead for your Cool Downs to be ready for the boss fights. This is what makes BM the easiest spec in the game.
Frost DK also has a very easy rotation and is just as easy on a stationary target dummy. But it is not ranged and it has no mobility. BM will therefore be easier than Frost DK in raids and dungeons, not because of the rotation but because of the versatility.

I like BM being the easy spec honestly.
I dont always log into wow to be challenged sometimes i just want to relax and not have to focus on my rotation 100%.
