Do you agree with the consensus that BO6 zombies are too easy/forgiving?

In a way I can see where people who say that are coming from. Preselected loadouts, augments, gobblegums, armour. Nobody is going to disagree that zombies are way easier than the OG era (waw, bo1&2) Vaulting/killstreaks etc help survivability too.

However in public lobbies most people I play with are fighting for their lives at around 25-30 and usually have been knocked down multiple times before that. After 30+ they simply can't hold their own and usually rewquest for exfil. In addition to this during the EE boss fights a lot will seriously struggle especially terminus.

With all this considered I think Treyarch are probably happy where the mode is at. Making zombies "easier" with all of the above combined make the mode much more accessible for casual/new players which ultimately is what Treyarch want retention wise. However it still clearly is a challenge for those people.
