I could think of some reasons but you'd say they're excuses.
Maybe because they are and you're not prepared to deal with that reality.
Better to face reality as soon as possible and escape a toxic situation. Toxic relationship is way worse than being single.
Just going over what she does, I would feel
a lot worse if I were stuck in that situation. I can say it definitely would feel a lot worse than being single. Seems like a lot of gaslighting and conditioning to check for and reinforce acceptance of unfair treatment. My honest feeling is she is looking to frame the relationship in an unbalanced and unfair way, like where she has 100% control and doesn't need to respect your well being.
Completely unfair to get guilt tripped into buying an apple watch, completely unfair to get blamed for situation you had nothing to do with. Even the donut thing, she is an adult right? Shouldn't throw tantrums or silent treatment over something trivial like that, it's literally as simple as communicating like an adult.

What’s the difference?

Some of the Red Pill stuff is just about hating women and blaming radical feminism for everything rather than work on self improvement. I think
potentially some of the radical feminism stuff
potentially does cause issues maybe even for both genders but that simply whining will solve nothing.
The truth is for guy struggling with dating is that
no one is sympathetic about it, whining only makes others hate them. How others see this is as a reflection of their true character or lack thereof and that what people get is nothing other than exactly what is deserved. I think it's a matter of locus of control, like what can we actually do to improve the situation and promote success. What TRP & PUA stuff avoid is the need to have
real value, IMO this is something that can't be avoided.
An Aspergers analogy would be like choosing my personal computer(which is custom built so actually choosing each component) since at a given time we typically have only one as our "main computer". There's no way around the need for real value demonstrated through quantifiable metrics and a proven track record. No amount of posturing, hype or sweet talk gets around this and most certainly simple avoidance in terms of addressing the key issues does no favors(Vague means I always assume the worst is true). Bad numbers equals it totally sucks therefore I will certainly not buy it. I feel absolutely zero sympathy towards producers of sub par components, to me it amounts to them asking for money for nothing since their components demonstrably will not do what I ask of them to do. Not being given a chance is a reflection of poor surface level metrics like for a graphics card the floating point operations per second and the operating frequency.
I would theorize that never getting 1st date/phone #/etc is a reflection of poor surface level metrics in the guy at least as perceived by women. This would include things like poor image/style or immediately apparent behaviour issues or functional living issues.
