I learned to drive on a manual and have had manual cars since (30+ years)
I kinda of feel stupid that I never even thought the handbrake would be used for that reason. I think it was an episode of Top Gear where I saw them do that. Needless to say I have always just done the hill thing with a quick off the brake on the throttle, clutch release.
I have tried the Handbrake/hill a couple of times since I got the P-car.
I have to teach myself to do it right. I'm pretty bad at coordinating it all now,
I find I use a lot more throttle and slower clutch release using the handbrake.
That translates to more wear.
I think it should be part of a drivers skill inventory but you have to practice.
