I agree, if it gets people interested in looking into it further then no harm done but to me the main point of the four noble truths is that it's the facing up to Dukkha, the acceptance of Dukka,

Yes. That was the way I get into the teachings.

Focussing on happiness first is just going to lead you down the same road that lead to Dukkha in the first place. Sure.
