It takes decades to learn how to make a song that millions of people will listen to on the radio. It takes decades to write an app that millions of people use every day to do their jobs. You can teach somebody to play the first few bars of Stairway to Heaven (or at least something that sounds recognisably like it) in an afternoon. On an Apple II, you can write a BASIC program that looks like Ultima IV or VisiCalc in maybe a week. But it would take years of study, let alone effort, to make something that looked recognisably like Elden Ring or Excel.
