Don't worry - you're the odd one out - people saying they had a hurdle at the srart is almost intentional. While you make it 3x more painful and hypocritical than it has to be - cuz idk what your magical solution is...
By being "idk why hostility" you literally invite me to explain why - which is another essay that shouldn't be here but you clearly asked now... so maybe I am not the problem - you just got stunned by unusual start up to a puzzle game you need to figure out youself as many many already did...
