ITT: Unbeatable puzzles

Why are video game puzzles made in a way that even literal monkeys could solve them?

Not to be that guy but it's not really a puzzle. It just exists to show not anyone could wander in and enter, and to establish the scroll, sword and key motif early on.

Playtesters are literal monkeys and devs "fix" things that don't need fixing if a monkey takes more than 10 seconds to solve it.

Focus groups and braindead playtesters.

Reminder that Half Life 2 had to remove a short side-loop in a passageway because one tester was stuck in it for half an hour.

i get that it's like "this would be a super secret lock if they didn't give you the code"

so why do i have to input? it's not a puzzle. the character could say "spaghetti" into a microphone and the door opens in a cutscene.
