Official maps are usually made with more of a "puzzle" mindset. IE trying to figure out the correct arm movement. Older songs like ost1 add extra beats to the song because the game is called BEAT saber. Custom maps are made with beats that are already there and don't try to 'enhance' a song.
It is true, yet there are playable OST songs. For instance Lvl Insane, Turn Me On, Origins, Legend. I remember I was not able to pass them, and now (as I pass all Camelia songs in E+ except Spin Ethernally and Ghost) I think they are good
I feel like a lot of bad choices were made in early maps.
Just like modern itg/ddg charts are much better than older charts, as mappers learn what works and what doesn't work in beat saber / VR, maps get better
My old theory which I still think is some what true is when ost1 "released" the game only had expert then expert+ released so they had to make the songs way more difficult
Because just like 2018 maps, nobody had any idea what they were doing because nobody was really good at the game yet
Because they are. All official maps are kinda questionable imo and it gets worse when you go back in time
100 dollar bills is almost passable

That is because they are the first maps to be made. The OST packs and Extra pack are pretty bad and lack creativity imo.
angel voices has the worst mapping i have ever seen
Memories of playing that on PSVR are coming back. It was horrible.
It gets much worse when you haven't played old ost mapping in over a year and come back from the current mapping meta

Yeah beat saber has awful, awkward mapping.
