In general, TV people have absolutely no idea what's involved with coding. Accordingly, they're likely to assume that it's much easier than it actually is, not realizing that their "simple" request may involve a fairly complex process to deliver. Ironically enough, they get this principle when it comes to other people's misconceptions about television. Very few people have any idea how much time and effort goes in to film and broadcast production. Producers are constantly fielding requests from clients, executives, and others with limited technical skill who say things like "Can't you just..." or "I don't see why we don't just..." or "How about just...?". You get the picture.
