It is not sticky nor fatty. It’s more like a rich puree. Houmous is a paste of chickpea with a few ingredient added. One is tahine, sesame butter, that would be on its own much closer to peanutbutter than hummus is. I also dislike the texture of pb but I don’t have an issue with hummus. It is closer to a vegetable based dip.
It has fat in it but it is not a butter. The same way that a rich chocolate cake doesn’t have the richness/fattyness of peanut butter but is still rich.

How can something be rich if not fatty tho?

The fat is optional. You’re supposed to add olive oil to taste after serving, not while you make it.
Tahine is not optional. Tahine is sesame butter.
