they’re all HOPPY and that’s it.

Well that is the definition of an IPA. When you buy one you are expecting hops.

But there are variations in hops just like there are in malts and yeast. I find the Southern Teir 2XIPA tyo be very different than the Great Lakes IPA.

The 2XIPA has white wine notes while the Great Lakes has more fruit flavor.

The "I" in "IPA" stands for "India". I don't need my beer hopped-up to survive shipping to India, so I don't drink IPAs.
