This is a really overused strawman. People said the same thing when WoW made it easy to level cap, but most were happy to cap or level up alts instead of being upset it was too easy. There's no basis for suggesting more people are satisfied with grindy.

It's better to err on the side of easy so players have something to do at all rather than giving up before they start because it's more grindy than it is fun. When was the last time you heard someone complain that they've given up on trying to complete something because it's just too easy?
