People on the internet always over-estimate the attention span, effort, and tech literacy of the average individual. Most people are going to open the website, be confused at which website they are supposed to join and close the page.
I agree it's not hard at all once you get used to it. But the vast majority of people are NOT going to take the time to do so. It's not even that it's necessarily too difficult, it's that the average user is not going to put in the effort to figure it out if it's not intuitive.
Yes, you could sit down and teach someone how to use a website, but most users are not going to have someone doing that for them or be interested in having someone do that for them.
