It should be called "fast chess" or simple "chess".
That's it and that's final.

Hyperbullet I like better than UltraBullet.

Why is this toxic stereotype so popular these days?

You clearly are a kid. No need to explain how I know that.
Anyway, I only played bullet chess for 2 years and I became a good overall chess player.
But then I played some slow blitz and some rapid and I become way better.
The reason you play Bullet is important.
If you play blindly and just do fast moves, you will lose most of your games (with the exception of ultrabullet)
But if you play bullet trying to LEARN something from it (other than speed), you can become a good chess player.
I was able to scan tactics faster, improve my reaction time, play more games (because each game lasted a short time, I was able to play more games), and so on.

What do you mean not ready? Also, Bullet is the way I started my chess development.

What part of it is easy? Only people with little to no experience would say that.

No, it isn't. I had a friend who was very slow, but he had a bullet rating above 2000. Also, I have beaten many Rapid players which would not make sense if I only played for speed.
A way to get better at bullet without having to ONLY play for speed is this:
lichess.org/storm and lichess.org/racer
But it is important to mention that once you play too much bullet, you will not get any better, which is why you should play some Blitz or Rapid, and maybe even some Classical, but I wouldn't make that big of a jump very soon.
