"This series is defined by its difficulty" and "the difficulty can be circumvented with specific builds" aren't mutually exclusive statements.

Imagine if you told someone who went to a movie or bought a book that they don't need to finish it to get their money's worth. Very few people say "I couldn't even get through this media" and mean it as a positive.

This entire discussion doesnt exist with books and movies. If you tried to make this point about movies, you'd be told to watch something else or to make your own. And frankly, that's the advice you should be hearing in gaming as well.
