You can say this about every video game genre and literally everything in general. Sturgeon's law.

How is this a platformer problem? You telling me that RPGs or shooters don't have cheap deaths?

Not as a core design principal to artificially pad out length.

Platformers barely had a presence in the arcades, consoles have always been where they thrived, I can't make any sense of this criticism.

But the age of the arcade and the age of the platformer had so much overlap that games that weren't coin operated were still influenced by arcade game structure. It made more sense on the NES due to hardware limitations but the SNES and Genesis still had way too many games that did the same ****ing thing for no reason. There's a reason Super Metroid gets it's dick sucked so hard and part of that is probably cause it never made you rage quit cause you had to do a flying leap of faith and just miss a platform you couldn't see.
