Bullet chess is pretty easy over all, if you’re a fast thinker. But still, you have to try slower games and get better at those. Try it after you’re pretty good at, Blitz it’ll help a lot. I tried and worked. Everyone will help you a long your journey.
bullet chess is hard for beginners but like DreamoSWord said it easy overall if your a fast thinker
So don’t play bullet chess.
You said you hate it but I see you are still playing bullet 
I don't play bullet. 5 min is doable, 1min is too fast to do anything but blunder unless you're some mutant with an IQ of over 200.

No bullet at low level is just the other player sacking all their pieces to win on time

Bullet is not about strategic-skill or even thinking carefully (perhaps no actual thinking at all or at least very little time to do any thinking which will most-likely cause your clock to run out), but, more about the combination of fast-clicking, a race against the clocks, and, how many of the best first 24 lines of every opening you have already memorised.
Blitz-Speed is not for the rest of us non-master players; it will only cause very bad-habits...
Hm...you don't play bullet.... Well, I would say that bullet games do involve actual thinking. Also, I don't memorize opening lines. I managed to get to 1768 in bullet, which is higher than your rapid rating, so I think that opening lines are not as important as you think below a significantly higher level -- and if you are at that level, then absolutely, other aspects of chess matter in bullet games.
I don't because it's not «real» Chess for anybody who isn't at Grand-Master or at least Master-Levels; additionally, the current Rapid rating is not my highest Rapid-Rating, which is actually 1880+, which does happen to be higher than your highest Bullet-Rating. For Masters and Above, the amount of «Thinking» that they need to do in a Bullet-Match is minimal compared to Non-Masters, simply because of already auto-ingrained sub-conscious reflex-actions; it's kind of like driving a car; a Master-Driver does not have nearly as many things to think about in order to avoid Crashing (or in Chess-context : Blundering) as would a less-experienced Driver (or Chess-Player in this topic's context).
If you have sources to back up your claims, I'd be curious: if you think bullet is not real chess, maybe that's a valid reason for you to not play, but unless you have data, you aren't in a position to be making these claims.
What I know is that:
1. I know a guy who's like 2100 rapid on here and he told me that he finds it exciting and satisfying to find a nice tactic in a 1-min bullet game, and I definitely feel the same way.
2. I've watched Danya play bullet (it's magical) and it definitely looks like he and his titled opponent are taking a moment to think when there's something in the position that needs consideration.
Anyway, feel free to believe that bullet is not real chess; for my level and below, I won't argue tbh lol. I think my point is simply that to dismiss it as the combination of fast clicking and opening memorization does not seem accurate.
Yeah, chess is funny that way. You can learn the rules in an hour, but it takes years and years to be any good at it. Or you can play for years and years and still suck, which is the case for most people. Eventually you have to ask yourself "Is it worth it?". I personally don't care about getting much better, but even if I did care I don't have the time to reach the level that will impress anyone. As Elite-Strategist said, there are more important things going on in the world that are more worthy of a person's time.

I apparently need to use another Analogy or Metaphor here which will or at least should be a better comparison... probably; Martial Arts; I happen to do Martial Arts at a high-enough level to where I am considered a «Master» and anybody who cannot keep up with me even at «Full-Contact» for Combat-Practice simply isn't capable of «Real» fighting (and in fact, one visitor who was going into the Marines at a martial arts school where I trained at where we did actual full-contact sparring, one day witnessed us sparring against each other and was so terrified that he kept on repeatedly gasping : «Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God; I've seen people in "real" fights before, and, even they don't hit each other even half as hard as you guys do against each other ! Oh my God !»).
It's fine and good and all if you can keep up with Bullet-Chess to the point of being able to follow what's going on with both sides on the board for the whole entire minute, but, let's be real, the vast majority of «Bullet» games that are «won» for most people will probably due to the Clock-Timer running out for the Opponent; this «Stalling For Time» Tactic certainly works in a «Sports» Event, but, just like in «Real» Fighting (and I mean real fighting, not that «sports-oriented» stuff we see on UFC), someone actually gets Crippled (or possibly even Dies) within the first 10 Seconds (usually 3 Seconds). If Amateur-Fighters or «White Belts» or Beginners are pitted against each other or even a non-Master against a Master or Grand-Master, you don't have a «Real» Match, but, simply a one-sided kicking of a dog or cat against the wall (metaphorical-reference not to be taken literally by the way since we all should know that animals are not chess-players).
Anyway, when it comes to how people «feel» about certain things, like working out & exercising at an athletic-level, the Olympic-Level Athletes are obviously going to love doing training and doing work-outs and exercises that last for over 12 hours a day, whilst most people who are not conditioned for it isn't going to feel like they're «training/exercising/working-out» but just being put through torture. Once people get up there towards Master-Levels or even Grand-Master Skill-Levels, then they will be able to actually enjoy Bullet-Speed Chess-Mode, but, before such time, it will «feel» the equivalent for many people like they are trying to tackle on an «Arena» full of «Masters» when they themselves are still only the equivalent of a White-Belt...
...regardless of what «Description» you give for Bullet-Chess, none of that will change how I «feel» about it unless I decide to dedicate enough of my time/life towards becoming a Master or Grand-Master in Chess, which I do not anticipate choosing to pursue any time soon, due to other more-pressing Life-Obligations (especially considering how it usually takes around a year or two of pure-dedicated daily study for most people to reach Master-Levels then another Decade or sometimes even more to reach the Grand-Master Levels of Chess-Skill of which time could have been used for more useful/productive-purposes that would actually contribute towards improving at least some of the numerous unsatisfactory conditions we have in civilisation)...
I don't understand your point. I'm not concerned with how you feel about it or whether you want to play it; that is your business. But if you are going to try to make statements about bullet that are not opinions, you need a source. Did you talk to a titled player about it? Did you read something about it? You make claims without sources, for example that most bullet games are won on time. I tend to be a fast player (on good days), so about 56% of my wins are by time. On the other hand, about 30% of my losses are on time. I think that's because I'm fast so I tend to squeeze out wins when I shouldn't, but you can't assume everyone is like that. These stats of mine has been consistent since I was like 1300, so you can't argue that say, 1300s just flag all the time. So based on that, I don't think it's definitive that what you said is true unless you have a source.
Random moves
Bullet is just for spam, you try to confuse them or put them in check so its hard to move pieces fast
