Passwords, e wallets, choice of coin exchanges, setting up coin exchanges and wallets, transferring money internationally, And that's just a few things off the top of my head.

Plus, even getting an IBAN and BIC number requires me to travel to a 'local' branch to get told what it is. Most people can't be arsed with any of that. It's far from 'easy'.

What country are you in? Coinbase is extraordinarily easy to set up and buy bitcoin. I did it in like 5 minutes. If you don't trust storing it with them then ya there's some researching to understand how to store it privately. But even then it doesn't take more than 20 minutes with guides on this subreddit or elsewhere to do that
