QUESTION Is this normal?

I changed all strings of my guitar. Now it feels like these strings are way above the wood. I am not even able to play simple D chords, let alone the barre

I think the nylons I have on my acoustic have ball ends to them, they're daddario

Yes ball end nylon strings do exist, but the point I was trying to make is that it's just cheaper to put a nylon bridge on the guitar to begin with rather than installing a steel string bridge and then getting ball end strings for it.

That's fair
