Who said it was hard?
I've been using Unix for over 20 years, and I wouldn't know how to
recompile a kernel and, at present, anyway, have no desire to know.
I use it for my business - technical writing and instructional design -
and, literally have no time to dig beneath the surface.
I've learnt one or two things along the way, and will probably learn
more as time goes on, but the direction your knowledge takes is as
variable as the individual and their needs and inclination.
Ralf has it spot on.
You're arrogant.
Cheers!
