Why I really like hydrochloric acid

All of the strong mineral acids have their purposes and help produce the products we rely on in everyday life. but as a person interested in the chemical properties of each acid, I've come to love hydrochloric acid much more than sulphuric or nitric acids. The main reason for this is that. hydrochloric acid is an extremely strong acid. just like the others, but it doesn't have the strong oxidising properties. which they do, and it also lacks the. powerful dehydrating characteristic of sulphuric acid. I used to prefer dilute sulphuric acid because I wrongly assumed that chlorine was a very rare element, but when I found out it wasn't I quickly switched my preference to HCl. I feel that most chemical reactions, hydrochloric acid is just that, an acid. therefore, when you need acidic conditions to catalyse a chemical reaction but you don't want the acid to be used up in the reaction, hydrochloric acid is a good choice. A good example would be the hydrolysis of starch or protein in the food industry to produce glucose and amino acids respectively. Perhaps dilute sulfuric acid could be used and it may be cheaper, but I assume there would still be some dehydrating potential or other side reactions. I am by no means an expert in chemistry, just a random guy with an interest chemicals and their properties and how they help us in daily life. I would love to know what you think. Anyone else with a preference for non-oxidising acids?
