Stuff like Super Meat Boy and Dustforce seem to fall into this category (I Wanna Be The Guy as well, although I haven't played that). While I can see what you mean by frustrating, I actually do enjoy these kind of games sometimes. The satisfaction of finally fine-tuning your attempts and getting to the end in one go is really great, even if it took 100 or 1000 deaths first. It's a matter of taste.
It's much like trying to break a record in something, be it throwing shot-put a certain number of metres or fitting 100 grapes in your mouth. You're not gonna get it the first time, you're gonna keep failing and keep trying until you finally get it. The satisfaction and skill you've acquired from doing it is why you're doing it. That's the attraction of these sort of games, for me at least.
That's also why high-scores are a thing. You practice and practice until you're #1, or just beat your best friend's score. This requires you to fail and learn from your mistakes, tweaking your technique until you get it right. It also causes you to try out different things, which might be more efficient or faster ways of doing the same thing, even though they're not the most obvious or straightforward ways.
Again, it's a matter of taste, and whether you're willing to persist for the reward. Some people like it, some don't, and either way is totally fine.
