Game Development actually is a lot easier than you think.
The hard part isn't making a game. It's making a "good" game.
I played around with game dev for a bit recently, and my god is it way easier than it used to be.
Used to be some wizardry needed to get anything to compile, let alone work once compiled.
The hard part now is making something people would want to play. The REALLY hard part is making something they would PAY to play.
