Nex is considered a group boss, so thats probably what Jagex had in mind when releasing them
When others are able to solo her just fine in the same gear and inventory and I can't, I feel like the time spent on my account is meaningless, and since Jagex is so intent on pushing this 'hardcore' and/or 'group PvM' down my throat because I'm a high level player, it makes me feel worthless for not being able to either compete or complete this content. For this reason, and since this is the only content left on RS3 that I'm intent on working for (not anymore), I'm going to take a break from RS3. The focus has shifted to 'hardcore' PvM so much that it's almost unbearable.

I wonder when they'll realize that this elitist push is only pushing people away.

Trust me, I really know the feeling. Being a Completionist but still extremely bad at all higher (and even lower) level PvM, all the constant PvM/Combat focused content sometimes makes me feel this game is definitely not for me.
Fortunately there's still a fair amount of non-combat content for us, but it does certainly suck when there's something that we need to do such harder combat for, like in your case that Defender. I've always wanted the Nex pet (I know, stupid dream for someone who can barely solo GWD bosses) and Partyhat, which is something that'd be really hard to get through means other than bossing (I can't merch).
However, all we can do is try to find things we do enjoy in this game and focus on them to avoid stressing over something we would struggle with, but even I personally sometimes feel like giving PvM a try, so maybe you'll feel that way some time too, decide to go try, and notice that you succeed. :3

I'm not sure how many attempts you've tried at nex, but patience can help.

I failed heaps at first and its frustrating, but you'll eventually improve with time.
With that comes losses from supplies, repairs and deaths.

If you can get it down, you'll make the money back in no time.

The only reason I bother to solo things is because I hate group bosses, even leeched a KK kill since I'm useless. :(

Even on 07 theres been a lot of focus on bosses/combat related content as well I think
help.

If someone wants to let me leech my emblem

I can do that. I've helped like 4 other people do it and I know how to ensure you get the kill. I'll pm you whenever I see you online to see if you wanna do it.

Don't give up, it's a painful process yes but it'll be worth it in the end
