Indeed.It is.
Many adept OH solvers learn alternative algorithm sets specifically for OH solving. I don't believe this is the case with feetsolving. (If it is the case, feel free to correct me.)
It is.
3x3 with feet is stupid and useless.
what has already been said in this thread 4/5/6 times
Yeah this thread's on a loop now really isn't it?As two people said before me,
I don't think it has a lot of its own skills and techniques that don't already apply to the normal speedsolving events. BigBLD, multiBLD, and FMC do. OH also doesn't have a lot of its own skills and techniques - like feet, by far the biggest thing you need to be good is to spend a lot of time practicing the movements until you can do them fluently and quickly. However, OH is extremely easy to hold in competition.This really bugs me. How can you say feet doesn't require skill? You saying Gabriel Pereira Campanha broke WR without skill and technique?

Short competitions are certainly easier to organize and run (and help out in) without feet. You don't have to move the timers and tables and stuff around, clean and deodorize things so people who don't love feet aren't disgusted, etc. while still keeping to the fixed number of hours you have the venue for.
Of course, bigBLD/multiBLD/FMC also make competitions harder to run, but at least (IMO) those have a lot of additional technique and skill above and beyond normal speedsolving, whereas feet doesn't.
Claiming feet doesn't require skill beyond normal hand-speedsolving is just a sign that you don't really know what feet (and a BIG part of speedsolving) is about.
Qqwref never claimed that. He only said it doesn't require a lot of additional skill in his opinion, whereas bigBLD, multibld and FMC does.

Solving your cube with your feet is no additional skill? It's as easy as twisting your cubes with 2 hands? I didn't think so.
Obviously nobody thinks it's as easy as 2-handed. You seem to be ignoring the part "a lot of", which I put in bold for a reason
I've said it before: removing feet can be justifyable, if done for the right reasons. "Lack of skill" is not a valid reason, whereas "not many competitors" would be.
