There is no hope in Buddhism. The gift of Dhamma is unexcelled. That a good many people receive hope from Buddhism is not the catastrophe you seem to think it is. While it is obvious that some people can abandon the concept of hope or, as you do, reject it as a trap. It also stands to reason that there are those for whom Buddhism is a refuge in the best sense of the word and that it meets their needs and does provide hope.
