Why? What is the strongest argument for this?
You might be conflating difficulty of work with difficulty of getting published results which vary ridiculously across fields. In CS, iirc, papers at good conferences are hard to get out and count towards PhD.

In my field of control theory conference papers are easy so committees/advisors demand journal papers which take 1.5-2 years to get out and capricious reviewers. Can delay graduation for years since committees at good schools won’t sign off until you have them accepted.

Fields also vary by the luck factor. You may work for 1-2 years to run experiments which turn out to be inconclusive through no weakness in your work. But then committees or journals don’t accept non-results as publishable and again you’ve spent 2 years for nothing.
