It's more likely that my body is just overly sensitive to foods (which is very common). I eat clean now but still not feeling like I did back then. Maybe 80%.
Diet and how you feel is highly variable and highly individual dependent. So the shake is excellent for creating a baseline since it is about as plain as you can get food to be.

It's implied, otherwise what's the point of his post?
What is someone trying to achieve by drinking entire meals in a shake, if not optimal nutrition? What other benefits are there?

Having done the Huel thing, it's incredibly low-effort. If you don't value the time spent converting ingredients into a meal, or in expending decision energy either on what to buy or what to prepare, it's a pretty big win.
Your anecdote is interesting, but it seems biased towards, "everything was better and healthier, but I didn't get the joy of food".
I'm skeptical that you were getting optimal nutrition from some powder produced in a factory in Mexico. If everything about this was "better", I assume your original diet was terrible.
