Buildroot is much easier to get started than Yocto, I agree. You can hit the limits pretty quick with Buildroot though, and then things get ugly pretty fast. Yocto has a much steeper learning curve. But the tradeoff is that you get incredibly precise control over all aspects of your build. Yocto builds are also much more composable, making it easy to have a "lots of variants that share some common configuration" kind of setup.
