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.

This certainly can be a very personal decision and sure you can put a higher hurdle for yourself to overcome and be better off because of it, but the fact is many people don't overcome and just quit. Google "percentage of people quit guitar within first year" or something similar one will find the answer is something like 90%, some quit within the first 3 months. Learning guitar is hard enough, if there are options to reduce some of the friction, I don't see why not. If the choices are quitting prematurely and never learn to play, or correcting some bad habits later, I would absolutely choose the latter.
Ultimately, having ANY guitar is better than not having one. But like folks have said, the Yamaha FS800 is miles better than this one and those sell for about $200 regularly. I ended up getting the Yamaha shortly thereafter (and many other guitars since). But the Fender is long gone. Basically, you buy this Fender, as you get better you'll realize it's really not very good and you've left it behind. You get the Yamaha, and as you get better you can get a more expensive guitar and have the Yamaha as a great back up plus you'll marvel at how they can build something so good for so cheap.
While Fender, and many others, send specifications to China to have the guitar contract built for them, Yamaha has their own factories and quality control there and it shows.
