Having a picture of a Piper Super Cab in the header and gliders with tractor engines in the content, sounds like clickbait. I'm a big fan of ultralights and paragliding, but they have more in common with gliders than with aircraft. Also, maybe UPO, but simulators teach more about airplanes than those tools.

Ultralights are fun and practical and their enduring popularity speaks against your assertion. They are also popular even in countries that require a pilots license for them.

I like ultralights myself and paragliding for fun. I'm speaking at the point of having a picture of a piper super cub (required license) in the header and write 'this is the airplanes you can fly with no license'.
