Implementers want to get paid more than they want to solve society's money/government problem. Turns out, corruption isn't just for bureaucrats!

It's a layer of abstraction on top of an already complex abstraction (the plain web), so of course it's going to be complex, by design. Browser vendors like Brave are trying to make it easy however, and you can do some crypto stuff with that, without having to install extensions.
