Its delusional to think, its easier to beat games, where more money are at stake. Its just the other way around, since the more money is at stake, the more serious people will tend to take it on average. And if you cant beat the worst players in the game, like drunk people playing on a friday night, then you have massive flaws in your own game.
Besides that you are kind of mixing up different subjects. R+A tournaments are a special format, because effectively people will be buying in for more than the at face price and there are special tactical considerations due to the add-on, which is almost like a second bubble. But just like normal tournaments, R+As exist at different price points, and you are going to find a significantly higher level of play in a 5,5$ R+A than a 1,1$ R+A. Just like you will find a higher level of play in a normal 16,5$ MTT than in a normal 3,3$ MTT.
That being said stacks often tend to get rather short towards the end of late registration in a R+A. Thats just the way these tournaments are constructed, since the whole point is to make people rebuy. So if you dont like turbo tournaments and push-fold poker, then avoid this format and pick some tournaments, where the average stack size remain deeper.
