It's really not hard. Most people are just lazy or lack the ability to look at something for more then 30 seconds before becoming frustrated. I camp all the time, just spent a week out at a lake with 3 tents. All of them ended up back in their bags nicely, like they do at the end of every trip.

    I camp all the time

    I used to camp once or twice a year. You don't develop the "muscle memory" to pack everything up nicely. So just just kinda throw it together meaning to sort it later. The next year you grab it and it's still all fucky and it's a huge effort to make it less so.

    You're right insofar as for someone who does it all the time it's easy, but not so much for occasional users. To be fair that's sort of the opposite premise than you were responding to. They would've been better off suggesting you either never do it or do it all the time.

    Point is even when I first started camping this was never really an issue because I literally took the time to just look at the tent and say oh it goes back together like this it's really not that difficult of a thing for somebody to spend an extra 2 minutes to look at their camping setup and realize how to fold everything back up.

    No one said that it's hard, only that the process could be improved.

    Yeah, we (mostly) all pack things up fine. That doesn't mean the process couldn't be made easier.
