Because whenever I go to 3-2 I use ABKM K2 with opening torp, DD K2 all with two red guns and a boiler. I also use line abreast at nodes E and F. But somehow always get taiha'd at node F. The Last 3-2 quest (Hamakaze & Isokaze K-B) took me 11 tries. 3 off-route (what can you do) 7 taihas at node F. Mind you, I used nothing but level 90+ ships. In all honesty, it's not the setup it's your formation.

I use pretty much the exact setup you use (sans boilers because I only got a bunch of them recently, but I did use them in the latest foray into 3-2).

Instead of using Line Abreast, I use Line Ahead on *all* nodes. While I don't always reach the last node unscathed (I have had several ships show up at the boss at Chuuha or just above Taiha), I have not, in recent history, had to Retreat before the last node.

Now, I *have* failed to S-Rank the boss because of the damage I took during the day and/or in preboss nodes coupled with a Red-T, and I *have* had to make multiple tries because I go F -> G, but that's just RNG screwing with me right there, there's nothing for that except go back, repair (if needed) and wait for morale to return to recover (or select another group).

Note: the Tips section on 3-2 tells you exactly what you need to do to minimize troubles on this map.

But then again, they sent you to a map that is hard on DDs anyway. So I guess that is just the DD life.

As far as the 'lack of imagination' goes, I can see that; there are plenty of maps that can be hard on DDs (2-5 can be pretty brutal) that are available without using 3-2 as the primary go-to.

...but to be frank, I'd rather send my Destroyers into 3-2 than 3-5 or 5-5 any day of the week...
