Like I swear if you go into a PF on a fresh or blind party no one will get angry at you for messing up.
I did up to Savage before and nowadays only do Ex fights.

I only speak for me but maybe others also see it like that.
The problem I got with Savage (and Ex if it wasn’t just faster and more forgiving) is that there isn’t really much “skill” involved. It’s just know where to stand and keep the gcd rolling.
No positioning the boss as the tank mostly, no usage of any other things like “sleep” for mobs and so on. Just know the mechanics to a T.
I honestly stopped having fun in Savage.

Add to that every strategy tilting towards melee players even in EW (very annoying on BLM sometimes) and unnecessary body checks even in Ex and it will be annoying.

What I’m trying to say is that I think it’s not just the difficulty letting casuals hesitate with Ex but also the design itself.
Not everyone wants to look up a guide. Many casuals actually like to do dungeons blind for example.
The modern raiding scene though is almost completely “follow guide to a T”. Blind prog is usually only found at the very beginning.
Many PF groups also often have extremely high ilvl requirements just so they don’t have to waste any time.
