I like Pes far more than Fifa. I like the unpredictability in Pes (bouncing/heavy ball). Fifa feels like dancing on ice "ball = balloon". I still think Fifa is much easier which is good, if you don't want to focus that much. Pes is much harder in my opinion.
Fifa has a lot of good stuff nice features and so on. Their basic gameplay is well "casual". It appeals to more people. EA wants sales simple as that.
Let me ask you this "what makes a game sell like hot cakes?". Make it easy so that many people can play it? Or make it very difficult for the average person? (but more realistic)
You have to look from a publisher perspective. Then you will learn how they make their money. It's an endless discussion in which PES will always lose and always has. Forums have always been pro fifa. This is an economic approach with experience since the start of 3D soccer/football games.
