Yes it is true that more hp means players need to maintain aim for longer periods of time, but at the same time this gives the player being shot at more time to react to being outplayed, thus compressing the skill gap. I wouldn't say needing to aim a target for a longer period of time equate to needing more skill, if players could pop in and kill someone like you said, they'd still need to have great mechanical skill due to the threat of the other player being equally able to kill you just as quickly. So it's basically a wash as far as needing to maintain aim for longer. Shooting in place leaves you more exposed, makes your position more well known to the enemy the longer you shoot. Slower character movement hampers those "good" player's ability (mechanical skill) to quickly escape or change position. It takes away their potential for quickly repositioning. Slow games like Apex Legends don't really allow for that outside of sometimes using an ability like Wraith's ghost move and Mirage's invisibility ultimate.
I fail to understand why giving reaction time compresses the skill gap so much because if the player who was jumped on is less capable theyd still lose, even if its even the player already lost a chunk of hp and would need to perform better to survive. The way I see it more hp requires the assaulter to actually follow through on their assault rather than just ride the surprise attack to victory. EDIT It would also make full success wipes more rewarding because you will have coordinated with your team or just nailed so many headshots, or something like that.

Who shoots first will matter much less and the guy with better aim will likely come out on top, I much rather die to someone with well placed aim than some spray and pray nonsense. high TTK forces you to stay on target for longer, you wont likely get a lucky kill, like you would with a low TTK.
Just sounds to me like you prefer low TTK games, which is fine, plenty of them out there to be played, but the overall point is this one does Not need to be every other game on the market. Sadly low TTK is Very casual friendly (instant gratification) so most devs tend to pick that style, and thus why we are saturated in multiplayer games that are increasingly clone feeling.
