Read their docs[1] especially Getting Started[2]. It's not bad, but you still need some experience administering a server and understanding of security and networking to do it.
Other automated systems like ACM[3] are very easy, but assume you've bought into a more expensive infrastructure, and often only support their (AWS's in this case) services.
And at the other extreme, there are a plethora of simple web hosting packages[4] that only serve very cookie cutter setups.
That leaves a decent number of smaller organizations or individuals that aren't really able to take advantage of automation because it doesn't support their configuration, or because they don't have the expertise to set it up correctly. So they are often stuck renewing manually.
