Yes, living in Eretz Yisroel is a mitzvah, a great mitzvah. A great privilege, an opportunity to do more mitzvhos, an honor to be living in HaShem’s palace.
But we’re not moving there just to do away with out three day Yom Tov experience. It’s a experience, not a burden. It’s our chance to be totally disconnected from the mundane, just us and the Ribono Shel Olam. No, not a burden at all.
And, sorry to say, sometimes it’s a bit easier enjoying being frum, leider, in chutz la’aretz. (where else do signs on the bus say “Warning – on this bus you must sit where you want. Anyone who sits where they don’t want faces criminal charges..”) Nothing chas v’sholom against our holy land, it’s the status of things there currently a secular people have against us…
