Aaaaand even so, they end up hex and then eldrich blasting and eldrich blasting after eldrich blasting with their eldritch blast all the time...
Nah, I´m joking, celestial and hexblades are more difficult to master and worthy of going full warlock.
But you can play a warlock without using all the features and be effective. In fact, lately, one dip in warlock seems to be the default multiclass for non-pure-casters in most builds (kinda like the vivisectionist in PF). You only need Eldrich blast and Hex and the rest is accessory (You do not even need witchbolt because that does not work with hex)
I do not think any class is particularly difficult to play. Hard to master? maybe, but easy to learn the basics. 5e is built that way.
