I believe this is true. Fated Heroes aren’t inherently more interesting, just easier.

You’ll sometimes hear writers say that writing an interesting story about X kind of person is impossible. (I’m aware of one prominent SF writer who has said that about women, for example.) This says more about their limitations as writers than it does about the people they won’t write about.
