As someone who is not a top level player I can certainly believe that the game is not demanding enough for the best as even I can play on the hard swing difficulty and not totally suck! I suspect that what the game could benefit from is an additional swing difficulty coupled with far more of a penalty for ending up in the rough or bunkers.
One thing that annoyed me with 2k21 and ultimately lead to me giving up on it was that they kept changing the swing timing/plane effects etc so I wouldn't like to see EA PGA Tour go down the same route, which is my I suggest an additional difficulty rather than changing the current 'hard' setting.
This won't affect the players on SIM but I do think that the Tour mode should have the ball arc disabled as right now it still doesn't actually require anyone to try to work out what to do in terns of compensating for cross-winds or angled lies, or judging how much draw or fade to use.
Nobody has commented yet on my post about the arcade Riviera 4 hole tournament the other day where the leaders were 8 under for 4 holes. That would mean an ace on the par 3, a 2 on both par fours and a 3 on the par 5. Also of note is that the three click seems much easier than the stick swing yet players wanted it.
I have not seen one player play this game forcing themselves to advance shot shape all shots. Everyone goes the straight swing route & calls the game out for being too easy.
Try the shaping tee to green & come back with an opinion on if it’s to your liking.

You make a good point, although for what it's worth I do use the angled swing plane for shot shaping and like what it adds to the game. I'm guessing you may too?
