The problem is that tech is always built with hidden assumptions. ALWAYS. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar or naive.
Not everyone can work with the assumptions that this tech demands, and not all of the assumptions are apparent (behavioral assumptions especially), so we end up either solving the same problem with a different set of assumptions or using glue code to turn things into a hacky mess that works.

That's why the process is so difficult, because questioning everything is not just hard, it's also very time-consuming and often doesn't lead to anything. Or, worse, doesn't seem to lead to anything, because you stopped just a little short.
