No hints means that when a new release is out, you don't have to spend
time fixing all your hinted queries against the new incompatible set of
query hints.

It also means that planner and opimizer bugs are actually fixed as they
as doscovered.

And if you knew how to use PostgreSQL, you would knew it actually has
some kind of hinting due to SQL standard optimiser barriers constructs
and some implementation details.

Then again it's all about use cases. Some use cases might be inadequate
and then PostgreSQL isn't the best tool for the job. Yes, that can
happen.
