Even on higher difficulty levels - I think except for the highest - the classics aren't hard. Modern games have more timing mechanics, more verticality, more methods of movement or control to master. I'd gather most middle of the road FPS players these days could breeze through the hardest modes of Doom and Doom 2.
I think they were difficult at the time because they were so novel. Modern games are novel in different ways and challenging in that novelty. Doom feels somewhat more "solved".

The enemies simply aren't designed to deal with a player that can seamlessly sidestep and precisely aim at the same time. If you were to play with keyboard only you might find the OG Doom quite a bit more challenging.
