The list goes on but I'm tried. These things and many many more make traditional hunting harder then compound hunting. If compounds are not easier to hunt with, then why were they invented? Why are they so popular with people that don't practice.

You hunt within your yardage limitations and know where to aim when the time comes. If I'm hunting with a compound within the same yardage limitations as you and we both know without a doubt we can hit what we're aiming at within those limitations , how is your way more challenging?
Same with a gun? handgun? traditional bow? compound bow? spear? rock on a stick? Hammer? rock? bowling ball? There are many more things then hitting the animal.
Have you ever shot traditional? If you haven't some days you will go out and just shoot terrible. Everyone does, this is magnified with traditional archery compared to compound bows. Is it the same to shot an animal with a gun and bow at 20 yards? No its not. But my gun is so heavy and my safety is so loud and and and my scope is so complicated
and it hurts my shoulder and back.. wait a minute its harder then archery.
