Then how come a huge % of average joes deadlifting raise their hips up before they even start the pull , and turn it Into a stiff leg

Id say most ppl are weaker off the floor , but they just use shitty ass form /. Too much weight and that's why the lockout is harder for them

High hips doesn't mean you're using bad form.

i pulled 450, don't think that was my max tho. I'm assuming i can get 460 right now

Here is an example of high hips:

That depends on everyone's bone structure. For many tall guys, deadlifting with your ass down is a nuisance. Many if the best pullers lift with hips high.

Tall guy -6''3"-here.

I'm a good deadlofter(550 @ 220) and my hips always move first.

Not what I met .

High hips or low hips starting position - whatever position , Im talking about right when u begin the pull, A lot people i see dling ( again, talking a about average ppl like us, not pros ). As soon as they begin the pull their hips shoot up before they even pick the weight off the ground and their hips are practically higher than their shoulders ( because its too heavy/ no leg drive ) turning it into a sldl/ back snap . I could name names but I won't

It's ugly , and these people continue to add weight

That makes no sense. Their arms would have to be 1 foot in length for their ass to shoot up past their shoulders (I know you didn't mean it literally). Hips shooting up is lifting with high hips, if you weren't aware. You're trying to force your DL stance on other people. Why?
