It might be a side effect that we are all well of aware of the smallest of details and hidden complexity of what we do as a job/serious-hobby, whilst having a very high level and ultra shallow idea of everything else, hence tending to thing about other people’s job that “I could easilly do that”.
I’ve learned a number of expert areas over the years in my career and it’s always that which happens for me: I start with the idea that “it should be easy” and about 2 years later I’m keenly aware on just how little I still know about it.
It’s the same “underestimating of the complexity of what we don’t know in depth” that’s behind the Dunning-Krugger Effect IMHO.
