Why do they tend to downplay it so much most of the time? Do they truly not think it will be painful? Or is there some other reason for that?

It’s also partly a placebo/nocebo thing. You likely trust your docs to be correct, so when they say it’ll only hurt a little bit, there is a good chance it’ll actually hurt less than it’d do without saying anything.
If they’d say “Oh this? This’ll hurt like a motherfucker”, that’d prolly make it hurt more as you’re now expecting it to.
