its not as hard as the author thinks. Take a book set in real world, let' say a book written by an adventurer like marco polo, or like, any settler or historian. The goal of fantasy worldbuilding is to mimic the richness of that book, not mimic the richness of the actual place (you'll need so many books, and pictures, and videos).
