The difference with a dungeon is that you can wipe to misfortune, but it's very not hard.
Difficulty =/= casual. You need a premade party, scheduling, etc for the challenge floors. The bad side of the random traps is a run can go sideways to a wipe very quick 'wasting' a good chunk of time reclimbing. I've seen many not reattempt because they don't want that time lost again. The best way to imagine casuals: is it easily picked up and put down? No? Not casual.

With a light party and a clean run, sure it is casual friendly, now find 3 others to 'marry' until you clear the 8+ (hoh&EO starting at 21 being less time consuming to clear to 100 than starting at 51 going to 200 in potd) duties with no wipes in a row. Could be 15mins each duty could be up to an hour depending on the run, luck, skill etc. That equates to near 7 hours per attempt for hoh/EO double for potd. Now schedule that with 3 others. Sure, it can be picked up whenever, but I've personally had 7 saves reset because of scheduling issues and needing to use the save.
