It could be that they're plowing billions of dollars into engineering and missing some obvious solution.
I think it's more likely that once you get down the details (which are going to much more intricate than a post like this can convey), then it may turn out to actually be a hard problem that requires a bunch of engineering.
For a relevant example of the "how hard could it be"-mindset: See George Hotz's short stint at Twitter.
