Personally I find it quicker and easier to pump a small volume tyre up to a high pressure with a low volume pump like an HPX than to inflate a lower pressure large volume tyre with the same - the latter takes much more time .
BTW I've yet to see a track pump that isn't a hand pump though doubtless some electric pumps are available.
I think it's called a hand pump because you hold it in your hands rather than have it sit on the ground.
Bike terminology is often a bit confused: v-brakes, clip-less pedals ...
It may be quicker to pump up high pressure tyres, assuming you're a body builder, but it certainly isn't easier.
People differ. You may not regard it as easier I do.
