Yes. Some people like it that way, most do not. To bad they didn't mention that to you before the install. There have been several thread recently that discussed this very topic.

Suggesting that we hide this information from customers and potential customers is simply incorrect. Our Master Cylinder uses a bigger bore than the stock master cylinder in order to facilitate the many improvements our kit provides. A cylinder using a bigger bore equates to an increase in pedal stiffness.

When our kit is installed and adjusted correctly, the pedal pressure increase will be minor (~15%) with most clutches. It will also be a bit shorter than the factory pedal normally. It will be easier to modulate as well.

The clutch pedal using our kit is a huge improvement over the stock pedal feel - most customers adapt to it and end up falling in love with it in less than a few trips around the block.

I think you may be a little to sensitive. My statement of "To bad they didn't mention that to you before the install." was based entirely on the information in the OP's thread title and opening question, nothing more.
