Just to throw a comment into the ring here...
From the Dom side degradation/humiliation (I am lumping them together unfairly I know) is not a piece of cake. In theory its easy, you just call someone some names, they get off, job done. In practice, the bottom has to believe it is real, the top has, in my experience, to engage that part of the brain that actually enjoys this. If you engage that part of the brain then the actions, voice, attitude, nuances that you exhibit become real and believable. That is an uncomfortable journey for practically everyone. When I do it I feel like I am on a tightrope, balancing the channeling of these very dark things with keeping enough awareness that I can push/pull back/call a halt. It is very challenging and I need to be close to a flow state for it to work well.
In addition, it is intellectually tough because in my experience I need to keep the submissive off balance and to do that I need to be three steps ahead of her, so that she is in a complete whirlwind of emotions/thoughts/arousal. In the past when I have done this, I always use real life reasons and effectively go into scene at a time they do not expect.
My experience, even after a few years of doing this, is that the process really takes energy out of me, much more so than a 'normal' (!) D/s scene, or even sustained sexual hypnosis. Coming down off that high for the Dom can be jarring as they have to mentally 'put themselves back together' in a way they can rationalise and maintain self-respect. That is especially tough the first or first few times you do it. I guess if your Dom is a psychopath then they will not have these issues ... but I don't recommend relationships with psychopaths.
I am not surprised at all that you come across people who say they can do it and then realise they cannot. They might not be able to for a whole host of reasons and we should not think less of Doms/Dommes who decide they cannot/won't or even discover that it is not for them. I certainly would not think less of a submissive who decided it was not for them, the same goes for Doms.
I have done this with partners who I have known very well. There is a stripping away of layers through this for the submissive that leaves them feeling naked and vulnerable in front of the person they trust. To be exposed in that way, to be naked and alone in that way, to have all flaws on display and then be accepted by your Dom is a beautiful thing. Similarly a Dom exhibiting such dark traits, to be able to let the darkness out in a controlled way, to be able to control the darkness and not let it control you, and then to be respected and adored after ... it is wonderful. There is no hiding. It is plain and simple acceptance.
