The problem is that there are two things going on.
1. “HDR” is often referring to a tone mapping to convert the 10-14 bits of dynamic range in a camera’s raw file into the 8bits that fit into a jpeg (and often the screen).
2. HDR also refers to actually showing more than those 8bits of information. Saving more than 8bits in the image and having a screen that can show more than 8 bits of color.
#1 is real easy to make look unnatural, and most phones go over the top with it. #2 is a straightforward improvement and basically always makes the photo better.
