"Easy mode" aka "I have a full-time job and a family to take care of, I'd like to make some progress in this game with the small amount of free time I have". Not everyone has the time to sit down for a couple hours to grind out mechanics.

It was a callback to how one game journalist complained about the difficulty of Cuphead making it hard for him to review. Source1, Source2.
Not all games are catered to everyone. The fun of this game like many other hard games is dedicating the time to master them.
For instance I still suck at Rocket League even though I've played it on and off for a decade.

It's ok. Everyone sucks at rocket league.

I've come to accept that. Also, I'm not getting any younger.
I used to be ok at arena shooters and FPS+Z games (like Tribes) because of the movement, but that was M+K (I learned to use a controller just for Rocket League). It really feels like my brain is just too set in it ways to git gud. That's the other sad thing about getting older, besides the lack of time.

I'll let you know I'm passable at rocket league, after a decade playing it, thank you very much.

Passing? What's that?

Use your kids to grind rosaries and you’ll be done in a week.
