"Easy mode" aka "game journalist mode"
And here we have the "git gud' sycophant. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came from
"Easy mode" aka "I have a full-time job and a family to take care of, I'd like to make some progress in this game with the small amount of free time I have". Not everyone has the time to sit down for a couple hours to grind out mechanics.
It was a callback to how one game journalist complained about the difficulty of Cuphead making it hard for him to review. Source1, Source2.
Not all games are catered to everyone. The fun of this game like many other hard games is dedicating the time to master them.

It's ok. Everyone sucks at rocket league.
I'll let you know I'm passable at rocket league, after a decade playing it, thank you very much.
Passing? What's that?
Use your kids to grind rosaries and you’ll be done in a week.
