To add to this, the high alcohol content typically found in IPAs helped with transportation, too.

And, if you’re not a fan of extra-hoppy ipas, letting an ipa age will mute the hoppy flavor and could potentially make a more enjoyable beer.

I'd probably recommend people just go for a different style of beer if they don't like IPAs :)

The alpha acids in hops oxidizing will have an impact on the flavor of the beer - largely it will reinforce the malt flavor, but depending on your susceptibility to off flavors, you might get cardboard or BO type flavors.
