That's really not what that's like at all. Not using the op character in an rpg would be like using the skill system to its fullest but ignoring one or two broken/mindless skills. Not using broken tools to keep the game challenging != intentionally denying yourself game features/changing the game mechanics to keep the game challenging.
OP characters in RPGs are dumb too though, if we're keeping score.
No its exactly what it's like. You're avoiding a certain part of the game to make it more difficult. It's not a matter of "the game is too easy" - if you're having to change skillsets and adapt, it's doing its job.
Even better rpg example would be refusing to use a certain elemental type throughout the game.
