https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindsight_bias

"Hindsight bias, also known as the knew-it-all-along phenomenon or creeping determinism, is the common tendency for people to perceive past events as having been more predictable than they were."

It's a kind of cognitive bias that assumes things that are obvious to us would be inevitably found without uncertainty, or trial and error.
