As you said yourself. You smashed it too and only changed it after reading about how deceptive it is. So the QTE itself is pretty unclear on how to be done and you need outside of the game information to get that its a fake. (Most wont just wait and see when something goes down so fast) And that still does not solve the problem because its still not functioning that way for everyone.

We also had quite a few such QTEs in situations where we had to overcome a losing situation (so its honestly kind of predictable and boring to use such a thing there again..). Not a single one of them was that harsh..the fight always continued on and only you died and it was never so stressfull to do it. So there is still no good reason imo to make it that way for that fight.
