Especially when the tree is deep and you have to trace a narrow path to your option. It's like the Polus Maze task.

God forbid your cursor leaves the third hover menu and it all vanishes before your eyes.

If you really must have hover-based nested menus in a web app, you can at least use the transition controls so a momentary loss of hover doesn’t immediately hide the whole menu again. Sadly, this technique doesn’t seem to be widely known and a lot of sites aren’t using it, which increases unnecessary frustration for users. :-(
