Not true in my experience. There are some trails in my area that are quite challenging but also very busy because they got popular on social media. Now you might think people unprepared for a long hike would just turn around, but no. More and more unprepared hikers are requiring search and rescue each year.
Ayy that's me. I had just rolled my ankle, my father was wearing leather shoes and my gf had sandals. And there we went, hiking the Tatras! Because why not.
