How easy gearing is has nothing to do with how many speeds, rather...how easy the gearing is. Speeds regulate how big the steps between cogs are, but again, Sram Eagle are no better than the Advent X at the really low gears, as the jump to the "granny" 50 or 52 is up from a 42T or 36-42‐5xT in all cases, much like the Microshift goes 34-40-48T. So even having more speeds, doesn't really guarantee a more consistent cadence, at least not @ the really hard gears...you have to look into it vs. declaring "10 = bad, sarcasm".
At the end of the day, going a smaller chainring on the Microshift (say a 30 down from a 32) will give you easier gearing (eg 30/48 = .625) that is really close to 32/52 and easier than 32/51T (but again, too close to matter if all you care is the low gear to make it easy going up).
Absolute beginners are in for a hard workout regardless of gearing. And reality is, with bikes you can always exhaust yourself: it doesn't get easier with time, just faster.

Edited: For example, microshift 10x runs on Shimano HG hub, so it's an easy swap to 12x (11-50 SRAM NX would be a direct replacement). Recon fork could be swapped for a lyric later on, or better. Recon silver has heavy steel stanchions, but is otherwise fine for a first trail bike.

Nothing on the bike would need immediate upgrade. You could ride it as is for a while. Lots of things would be easily upgradeable in the future if wanted, or you could just replace things as they wear out.

The majority of riders will not ride enough for this to matter, with the exception of ppl buying older, used bikes and commuters. But it will matter if you ride "enough " while not cleaning and lubing your chain properly, in which case wear gets accelerate greatly.
