As a bayesianist I would like to defend Frequentism here. p-value hacking IS NOT "Frequentist", it is malpractice has its roots in lack of education (copy-paste-analyses), publication pressure and using the p-value as a strong metric for judgement of results (which it was never intended to be).
Frequentism is a toolset of best practices and experiences about statistics, a KISS approach to statistics so to speak.
Bayesianism is a beautiful approach to probabilities and statistics, yet often turns out to be really complex when performing calculations and it is also not fool-proof and it also requires experience to be applied correctly.
