Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't having "clicky" and "tactile" switches ruin the point of hall effect switches because it makes them have a contact point?

No It's still without any contact point, the "clicky" and "tactile" switches are just with a leaf between the housing and the slider.

No. They just add tactile feedback. They don't change the actuation point. With Hall sensors tactility and actuation are totally separate things.

Round 1 was totally linear, and if you want linear switches, you can just yank out the tactile leaf.
I own a round 1 keyboard, and the result was an EXTREMELY smooth switch, which ironically was also their down side. The switch was boring and unsatisfying for a lot of people due to the lack of all tactility. This keyboard needs tactility imo, and for the rare people who like no tactility at all, the tactile leafs will be easily removed.
Regardless, the leafs serve no electrical purpose at all, they only serve to better the user experience.
