Those details do not directly mean that driving Indycars is easier than driving F1 cars. For a more objective comparison, an article published by www.carthrottle.com three months ago makes a good read.

Of note in the article, to counter the description you provide:

'F1 cars top speeds are limited by the circuits and draggy aero, meaning the highest speed you’ll see in a season these days is generally around 220mph with the assistance of slipstream and DRS, while an IndyCar in superspeedway setup will nudge 240mph in clean air, despite just having a smidge over half the horsepower.

Another key difference between the two is that F1 cars have power steering, whereas IndyCar’s don’t, making for a more physical driving experience. Romain Grosjean recently made the switch from F1 and just two races into his IndyCar career declared that a race around the bumpy streets of St Petersburg, Florida was the hardest he’s ever done.

Although they may look similar, IndyCars and F1 cars are very different beasts, designed with differing priorities in mind. IndyCar races on a wider range of tracks and the cars can change significantly depending on the circuit. F1 is much more standardised race-by-race, but the innovation and development of the cars create more diversity among the teams and, around a typical race track, makes them the fastest racing cars in the world.'

And I'll repeat the comment from the most recent driver to move between the two series 'Romain Grosjean [...] declared that a [IndyCar] race [...] was the hardest he’s ever done.'
