This is even true if you play acoustic nylon strings. The callousing would be much less acute with a lower gauge string and even less so with nylon strings. But a total beginner's fingertips would still get torn up and calloused even with nylon strings, let alone with any gauge of steel (bronze) string.
The other thing you may be referring to is the action: how far you have to press down on the string to fret it. For total beginners a higher action might feel like it causes more muscle strain in the hand to fret, but it's not as important as having good finger placement and hand position. The action on this guitar is perfectly in range of what is considered appropriate for a steel string guitar, low enough for fretting but not too low to hurt tone or cause strings to buzz against other frets.

That sometimes depends on the types of string that you use, if you play guitar and it feels hard to press the strings, try a lighter gauge of string
Thank you for the suggestion. Will try.

I understand that but I have tried some guitars (expensive ones) that feel soft compared to other less expensive. I can feel the difference. Will try a different string to see if that helps. I have a $200 dollar Ibanez that feels hard and really hurts my fingers. I keep thinking that more expensive guitars have the strings closer to the fret or something like that and that makes them softer. (just an idea).
You aren't totally wrong though... Some guitars are easier and lower lighter gage strings can hurt a bit less.
Almost all guitars, new or used require a professional "setup" or fine tuning per se, buy it, bring it to a guitar shop and ask for a "setup" to make it easy to play. I agree, I've really liked what I've seen from Yamaha recently for entry level guitars but this one has a solid top so it's a deal at this price. Would be great for another "couch guitar" to hang in another room in the house if the Misses hadn't imposed guitar sanctions on me 😆 (to be fair I have enough guitars she's let me buy 😉) cheers
