Are you sure you could not spot a practical use of HATEOAS? Like for example every website that lets you navigate through it using web links, without having you to edit the url by hand! Not talking about APIs here, as most of the JSON APIs are indeed not HATEOAS, because JSON has no built in support for hypermedia. But most of the internet's web sites that use HTML also use HATEOAS, so IMHO it seems a little bit pretentious to say that HATEOAS is "just superfluous :)
