Quote from Irving Berlin:

"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force."

You obviously acquired no skills in your work with hand tools, then? Not skills with machines, but skills nonetheless. If it were as easy to pick up, sharpen, and use a hand plane as you believe it to be, anyone who could sign their name would be able to draw like Leonardo da Vinci, correct? Writing and drawing require the same foundation skills.

Don't let what is easy for you cloud your understanding of what is easy for anyone else.
