I suppose that is why the dukkha characteristic is not discussed very much. If one intellectualises too much about it, it may sound pessimistic.

I think it is threatening to many people. The practice of this level means to drop all the golden jails, like ideas conditioned in nature, that are built so to abide in them. The pessimism given to this, IMO, is a kind of psychological defence. The way, I think, this can be understood is through meditation and not only by an intellectual struggle.
