It's not about it being easy or not. The sole idea of not having to battle the Pokémon as part of the equation when attempting to faint, catch or otherwise is absolutely ludicrous within the franchise. I welcome the legendary version where you HAVE to beat the Pokémon before you can catch it. That's great. But not battling a normal Pokémon at all is just weird.
It's like it is standing there like "huh, wot u up to". Then you chuck a ball at it and it breaks out and it's still there, like... "Wtf man, y u gotta do that. But don't worry I won't kill you or run, gonna give you another shot coz why not."
