If someone told you to drive from your local supermarket to where you live without crashing, you could do that easily
However, if they told you that if you crash, you lose your bitcoin forever - and if you don't, you can keep it - then you would probably get really nervous and start overthinking every action
I think randomly generating your private key is similar
It is not difficult from a technical perspective - but once something of high value is at stake - something that you would usually view as easy to do, feels you with dread
