Sucks to be anyone who didn't realize how prohibitively difficult it would be until after the refund period

This is true. There are lots of reviews out there to read though before making a purchasing decision.

I mean, it's a direct sequel to a difficult souls-like. It's hard to have too much sympathy for anyone who didn't play the first Hollow Knight but wanted to jump in on the sequel, since I think anyone who played the first HK should have a good idea on what Skong's difficulty looks like.
