I don't use the dishwasher, but I think it gets hotter and is objectively superior in that respect.
You can run it without it being full.
I hand wash cause I have no choice >

Only legitimate argument for hand-washing right here. A lack of choice. >

Nay.
I hand wash because I like knowing my dishes are clean and don’t have a soap film on them.
I have an excellent dishwasher apparently.
Still don’t like using it. >

Unless you scald your hands every time you wash dishes they are not at all as clean as they would be in  a dishwasher (as long as you haven't overfilled it). Also if you use powder instead of pods there won't be a soap film on everything as pods contain way too much soap.
I'm not all all opposed to washing by hand as I've done it a lot while moving around but the dishwasher objectively wins on all but a few points (like living alone and barely using a plate and a fork per day). >
