The difference here is that Yondaime knows ahead of time what he'll do to his opponent, so the moment he's behind them, they're already dead. It happens like this: he teleports behind them, they realize he's there, oops, knife to throat.

No they are not already dead. They are merely on the verge to be stabbed (or something else).
Kaiten, Chidori Nagaishi, Sand Armor, Iron Skin, Bone Armor, puppet body, other kind of teleportation, Kage/Mizu/Wood/etc. Bunshin, worse Explosive Kage Bunshin, high healing factor, Genjutsu, incredible reflexes, Kyubi chakra shield, and the list goes on.
Like any jutsu there are countless way to counter the Hiraishin. What make it so deadly isn't really the jutsu by itself, it's the fact it was used by Yondaime.
Let's rewrite the Kakashi Gaiden, imagine instead of Hiraishin Yondaime was using the invisibility no jutsu of the rock nin and vice versa.
Kakashi is being saved by an invisible Yondaime who appears then out of nowhere behind the Rock nin's back to kill him.
The Rock nin uses Hiraishin to slash Kakashi's eye but is killed by Obito who sees him molding chakra to teleport as well as the chakra activation of the seal and who can thus stab the place where the Rock nin was appearing.
The result would have been exactly the same as now : people crazy about invisibility saying that there is no way to beat that, that Yondaime could kill
anybody because
no one could know he was there and that even the Byakugan and the Sharingan couldn't because he was
invisible.
Nobody would talk about Hiraishin because the ninja using it was cannon fodder.
That's just how things work.
