IME this greatly overestimates how hard this is for typical end users.
Imagine if you were asked to understand and implement a technical legal function. Maybe you could do it, but it would not be trivial, you'd have to figure out what the heck it meant and what was going on, and then try to implement it. You would need to hope you received good advice, because you have no way of discerning good from bad, and that the instructions were accurate, clear and complete.
At HN we are inside a bubble where these thing are trivial. As another analogy, appendectomies may be trivial for surgeons but incredibly difficult for me.
