Sure, there are some exception for holes you have to thread a needle or with a tiny landing area, but those are pretty rare on the courses I play.

Maybe it has to do with the driver being teed up? I think plenty of people struggle hitting a fairway wood. In general though, the longer irons, woods and driver are harder to hit for most of us because it’s further from you. It just leads to more of an issue than a higher iron.
For me, when the driver is on it’s fine. But if it’s not cooperating (could be the user!), it can be a complete disaster. It feels like I’m hitting three from the tee constantly those days. My issue there is not getting the club square, and that’s a function of the longer shaft for me.
