There is strong support for this "(Neo-)Trad style" of play in 5e, combining 2e style GMing with 3e/PF1 style adventure paths.* I would argue that most people can play most other non-D&D games just as easily, if not easier in some cases, but there is often a privileging of D&D as a gateway TTRPG and the "normal." Yet there are plenty of TTRPGs out there, IME, that are just as easy, if not easier, for most people to play than 5e D&D.</blockquote>
