Borges is "hard" because of his ideas of the infinite, time and so on, not because it's hard to understand what he writes. His Spanish is quite plain and easy to follow. That doesn't mean one understands completely the message.
I don't think any native Spanish speaker would have trouble understanding what he writes.

But I do think it is an usual occurrence that Spanish speakers find it hard to read, and I think it is because of the language mainly, and not because of the content. But because I don't think it is hard myself, and because I didn't make a survey, I can't say this is exactly the case for most of the population.
