I think most games are easy enough to learn the mechanics through experience. Nobody who enjoys "difficult games" likes them because they're difficult. We like them because the gameplay is nuanced in a way that easier games can't ever be.
It's the equivalent to enjoying Shakespeare. Nobody who likes Shakespeare likes it because it's "difficult to read." They like it because he's really good with words. You just need to be an extremely experienced reader to understand why. Same with difficult games. It's not "knuckle shatteringly hard" when you've reached a certain level of gaming skill, the same way Shakespeare isn't "impossible to decipher" when you're a good reader.
