Even if some people can beat it in 1 minute, it is still extremely hard for a lot of people, and provides a lot of enjoyment. And those speedrunners who beat it in a minute probably spent dozens of hours finding those exploits.
A couple of years ago, I played Hollow Knight on PC. I probably spent 60 hours getting to the final ending and finding the majority of the secrets. I enjoyed it immensely for a month or two. Sure there are speed runners who can beat it in under an hour, but that doesn't diminish the many hours of enjoyment I got from it.
If you haven't, I would recommend watching Summoning Salt's World Record Progression videos, each of which takes a game and talks about the series of exploits that allowed the world record speedruns to exist.
