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.

Given that any other guitar which is better for $150-200? Ok to wait if answer is "yes, the ________ but when it's on sale"
Thanks
Steel string acoustic guitars typically have the highest tension (thickest strings) and are the hardest to play. Every seasoned guitarist knows this.
Nylon stringed guitars typically have the lowest tension and take the least physical effort. Just about every child is started with a Nylon stringed guitar for this reason.
A nylon stringed guitar will absolutely be easier on your fingers to play (due to softer/ thicker string material with less tension).
Nylon stringed guitars have a much wider fretboard, which could be a hindrance or help entirely depending on your hands (size, shape, dexterity).
Scale length (length of the soundable string ) will also affect tension. Shorter scale guitars have less tension and require less force to play.
Thinner strings require less tension to come up to pitch, hence thinner = easier.
*For an absolute beginner nylon stringed guitars tend to be the easiest route.
*A second easy on your hands option is a light/thin stringed electric with a short scale length (Gibson scale length in .09 strings).
The main downsides of nylon stringed guitars are that most players "outgrow " them (they want something different due to sound and style desires) .
Best of luck!

Yea man for sure. Chris Buck has made us all fall in love with those pinstripes!
That's a valid point which I have no witty retort nor reply to.
I concede your conclusion is superior to mine.
You're right.
I have never set-up my guitar not once.
That is what they have luthiers for.
They know that.
I know pentatonic scales and how to tell the roadie to get that 36-inch bust blonde behind the wall and backstage.
I leave pro work to the pros.
They fix 'em, I play 'em.
End of story.

Yawn..
I have 47 years of professional guitar playing experience. I have made over eight million dollars in just playing guitarS.
I'm not sure why I'm saying this WHEN NOBODY ASKED. Perhaps I just LOVE to brag and make everything a "my balls are bigger than yours" competition.
If you only "play" guitars, you shouldn't be giving out advices related to setups.

Who are "they"?
Most guitars don't need to be fixed.
I heard Guitar Center have their own "luthiers" and will set-up a guitar for you....

People often say the opposite, they wish they had learned on a steel string acoustic before playing electric, because it forces you to develop better habits, stronger hands, and thicker callouses.
And I'll chime in on adjustments..
Whether you go to a luthier or adjust the guitar yourself is a trade off, but no doubt setup can make a noticeable difference. It can make it easier to learn and play, yes. But it is almost always still possible to play and learn with a mediocre setup.
I think most "pros" would recommend taking a new guitar in for setup, if possible. I learned without any setup for over a year, then learned to adjust things myself. Assuming you have the tools (allen wrench, string guage or caliper, and a long straight edge), it's easy to do basic adjustments, but hard to know where to adjust it to. Took me a few months of messing around with different adjustments to get a sense of what to change. You might hit a wall there too and have to learn to do more difficult adjustments like adjusting/replacing the bridge or the nut.
Highest budget, I'd probably buy a better guitar (Yamaha), learn on it for a few months, then take it to a luthier and see if you notice the difference. Use that to learn to adjust things yourself but also take it to a luthier every once in a while.
Next highest budget - buy the better guitar, don't go to luthier, learn yourself.
Next highest, buy this guitar, learn a while, then go to luthier, then learn to adjust yourself.
And of course last, buy this guitar, don't take it to a luthier, just play it. Learn to adjust it later, or take it to a luthier, when you're more invested.
If any of this setup talk scares you off from learning, forget you read it.. Practicing is far more important than setup, and practicing on a bad setup can make you a more resilient player.
Definitely recommend watching a bunch of "common beginner mistakes" videos when learning to play too. The tendency to make some of those mistakes can be exacerbated by a bad setup, but avoidable if you know not to.
