The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.

Agreed for wow, but for Runescape, many of the quests are just so arcane that I never in a million years would have guessed what to do for them

I actually replayed runescape classic as Ironman recently and surprisingly most quests can be solved without the wiki! It's takes much longer though but so much more fun. You get to explore the world more and its a really good world with most characters having some personality and little areas that have you'd never visit otherwise.
