You're totally right. I think there are multiple factors at fault here.

First of all I think is the way that courses are marketed that's a problem. "Learn c++ in 7 days" is just an ad after all.

Another problem is the fact that a lot of programmers are insecure about their knowledge, and so they try to hide that by saying something is easier than they actually think it is.

You're totally right. There's also these sense of, well it's easy for me so why isn't it easy for you?
