You want a difficult instrument at first so that any decent guitar you get in the future will be simple to play. At least that's how I see it.

No way, that's crazy advice. You want a guitar with low action. How thick the strings are is a personal preference - as you learn to play the guitar, you will know what size strings are best for you.
Any instrument becomes simpler to play only if you practice regularly. The worst thing you can do is make it hard to practice in the first place, which is why a high action guitar is a terrible idea.
