[KCD1] Why do people say Lockpicking is hard?

Lockpicking and Pickpocketing are so easy. With lockpicking you just Track the big yellow ball in the right zone. I broke a total of like 10 lockpicks in my 216 hours of gameplay. It's one of the most intuitive lockpicking games, which is surprising in such an immersive game. It's quite a lazy representation of lockpicking. Is there something I am not understanding or is it just a literal skill issue for most of the playerbase.
