I don't think ML is harder than other technical and scientific fields. Being a good software developer, a good software scientist, a good mathematician, a good astronomer, a good physicist is hard. And of course, there are hard fields outside of science. Being good at any kind of art is hard. Just because some people believe they are good at something (because Dunning Krueger effect) doesn't mean that field is easier than ML. They assume ML is harder because they happen to know a few bits in a particular field and nothing about ML. Then, the same kind of people will learn some superficial bits on ML and think it's easy. Any human endeavor done properly means time, sweat, critical thinking, determination. And lots of it.
