The worst part about cutting is managing protein intake and dealing with hunger. It's annoying to have to eat so much god damn protein every day.

I'll say this though; I've never noticed muscle loss on ~100 grams protein a day while cutting in the early stages of cutting.

I only think high protein intake really matters when you start to get really lean, i.e. under 11-12% body fat, as essential fat starts to proportionally become quite high and the body becomes resistant to burning fat (i.e. is more likely to burn muscle), thus mandating a higher protein intake.
