Sure (in somewhat extreme cases).

Lots of people can visualize the route without cue sheets. While it works for you, people don’t necessarily need to do the same thing.

GPS wasn’t an option. I’m not surprised you have lots of experience with them. Lots of people did fairly well with them. Some people might even like the challenge.
People are free to do whatever they like. Who knows whether that is actually what was “better for you”. (People only care about what could be best for
them anyway.)
I used to use cue sheets for long distance riding but went to using GPS exclusively. “For me”, the GPS worked better. But that isn’t anything that anybody should be interested in.
