It's not that they are hard, people hate QTE's. There's a stereotype about QTE's making a game shitty or look worse for a reason, they look like lazy or poorly done attempts to try and 'immerse' you or keep you involved in the game. Plus, you think the reloading animations now are boring and frustrating? Having to do QTE's over and over and over and over and over again, possibly messing up multiple times will drive you up the wall. And the reloading is 20 seconds, not 14. And some people will take the time during the reloading animation to do some other things like reply to a steam chat, search something, communicate in game (I personally do this A LOT), etc.
