This sentiment probably stems from an incredibly privileged place.
Mathematicians and people who are/were good at math are always quick to disregard the "boring" math.
First I'd like so make it clear that I agree with you.
However, in reality, all this stuff is seen as a prerequisite to get to "the good stuff". Real world education systems have this gatekeeper in place for everyone who isn't exceptional.
So while I absolutely share your sentiment, I find it very misplaced (and a bit distasteful) here for a tool that can actually just help real world self learners overcome those barriers. Self learners that just want to learn the basics from ground up are already often ignored by the whole math community.
Math is exercising, that is something high school math and university math very much have in common.
Had OP posted a generator for proof based exercises and problems, I guarantee you some mathematician would've showed up to rant just as much about how trivial undergraduate level proofs are ;)
Funny, I always took it to the inverse - the ones naturally good at math loved these kinds of exercises (and got even better as a result) and the other kids hated the exercises since they took forever, were difficult, and they couldn’t understand why it mattered they became good at them. Making it more relevant is helpful to both groups but more so the ones that didn’t already have a reason to be interested no? Either way as long as you can convince them practice is a good thing you’re golden.
I'd wager that a typical math homework felt like a grind to everyone sooner or later, depending on overall load and topic, so the attitude towards it would be as personal as with anything else. I was never one of those IMO-level exceptionals, though scored OK nationally, and hated doing essentially same problem 50 times in a row. My friends were chiller on average, but I never noticed any skill-loathing relation.
