20 minutes of challenge becomes 5 minutes of chores becomes 2 minutes to blaze through flawlessly once you get it down
And it breaks you out of the headspace. You can't just dive back in, every attempt has weight, even if not much
Also most people who complain about this seem to not understand that this is not random, these are well thought out design decisions. If it feels impossibly hard to just get to the boss, there's probably an easier way. There's tons of shortcuts, there's often an easier route to another bench, and when there isn't the boss is probably an easy one when you're not anxious about having to repeat the section
Plus, platforming is a huge aspect of the challenge in itself. Sure, it's annoying chores now, but what happens when you need near perfect movement for long stretches with no platforms to rest on?
