Watt, they had to play against Aaron Donald, they had to play Chris Jones, etc...  The reality is you are going to face those type players in the playoffs and Super Bowl and if you want to win it all you need an offensive line that can handle them.

The two losses the Bengals have had in the playoffs to LA and KC, the problem was not the edge rushers. It was IDL, and they ate the IOL alive.
So while I get your point, not every good playoff team has really good edge rushers that would go against the OTs.
It's actually more common in recent years to see playoff teams having good interior pass rush.
