My simple answer to this is: The rest of the game (and the former potd-floors) is to easy. People are used to facerolling content and ignoring mechanics, so they dont know how to deal with them (and are also not willing to).

Partially we've created this problem ourselves - by asking for nerfs each time content is not completly baindead, faceroll easy and actuall requires you to - shock! - do something!
People struggle with mechanics -> mechanics get removed -> people dont learn how to handle mechanics -> struggled -> nerf -> no learning effect -> struggle... you get the idea...
