I find the Mahler 9th engages my emotions quite immediately, much more so than any Brahms Symphony, much as I now love them. Mozart has an immediate appeal, but I always have the nagging feeling I'm missing what's going on under the surface. And Bach could be very abstract. You have to cherry pick to say that he is easier to like than Mahler. Much of Ives is easy to enjoy. I'd also say that much 20th Century music (Prokofiev, Holst, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Vaughan Williams, etc) is easier for many people to engage with than 19th or 18th Century music.
All this is just to say that you are again trying to form a thesis from feelings and opinions that seem to me hardly universial.
