Why Are Roguelikes So Difficult?

Roguelikes elicit many emotions: happiness, pain, love, despair, but if there's one feeling roguelikes emanate more than anything, its difficulty. While individual roguelikes might not rank high on a total overall difficulty scale compared to some other titles, collectively the roguelike genre is pretty consistent in delivering some not so very easy games, and in this video, ill be going over why (in my stupid dumb sleep deprived reasoning) I think that is.
