LFS is 10x easier to drive than AC....
Depends a lot on car and point of view, i think. There might be more fitting words to describe AC's physics than "easier".
I'd say the LFS roadcars feel more natural to drive, they behave like i would expect them to which for me is more predictable = easier. That being said some of the AC roadcars are very good too.
But take my 1M example, the car feels off-throttle like a four-wheel-drive Audi S3 Quattro, understeery and unwilling to rotate. Most people would refer to such a handling as safer = easier to drive. For me this is not necessarily true either, because if a car doesn't behave like i expect it to, i'm obviously worse at driving it quickly.
A few videos of idiots who can't drive hardly proves any kind of point.
I've driven on tracks - it's pretty easy to go fast as you get lots of feedback from the car. That's lacking in Sims unless you can afford some $40K full motion rig.
Real cars are just not that hard to drive - fact.
Writing "fact" behind your opinion doesn't make it a fact - fact
.
It's hardly convincing if someone who claims to be seconds off the midfield and the slowest racer in town tries to explain how easy it is to drive a car at the limit. If something is easy you don't struggle with it.
It's not important how fast or slow anybody is and i don't think you have to be running world record splits to have an opinion, but i'm also not surprised that someone who doesn't get much into the range where cars come alive thinks they are very stable. It's definitely beneficial to have a bit of routine and experience on the limit to be able to evaluate physics.
How are the chances you have been able to get into the dynamic range of your car irl where fear comes into play if you have trouble doing so in a sim?
Of course you can be the worlds fastest alien and still be wrong with everything you say, too
.
IMHO it's not all black & white and it's hard to state any hard facts because so much of it is a matter of perception.
