Yeah they are probably counting on the fact that this is a Ultimate Collector Series aimed at Adult Fans Of Lego designed to be a display piece not a playset that gets taken apart and remixed into your pool of Lego pieces. It is a new thing though that is interesting given how long they went before making a set that was this hard to fully disassemble. Till now every set could come apart and besides stickers parts were fully generic and didn't get stuck together permanently.

I have noticed there's more of those being called for in sets lately. eg: 2x 2x1 flat plates together, it's very hard to impossible to separate those without tools.
