Except we never see any transmuter do that ever. Hisoka makes his aura sticky and elastic. He doesn't change objects at all. Machi makes her aura thin and threadlike. She doesn't change objects at all. Killua makes his aura electric. He doesn't change objects at all.

Transmutation training involves forming shapes with your aura and moving it around. It doesn't involve objects at all (unlike, say, Reinforcement training which involves hitting rocks with rocks).

As I mentioned earlier, I completely fail to see the practical difference. Sure, there are a lot of manipulators who specialize in giving orders to living beings (Shalnark, kiss-girl, dog-guy, etc), but there are also manipulators who give orders to inanimate objects. And if you can make an inanimate object do whatever you want, what the hell is the difference when it comes to the end effect? You seem to be acting like it's just telepathy or mind control or something, when it's clearly not. The manipulated object doesn't need a "will" to be manipulated, which means you can use it as telekinesis, or at least to simulate telekinesis. And since telekinesis is not a thing that exists in real life, there is no difference whatsoever.
