Very good and important observation. In his talk "Simple made easy" [1] Rich Hickey defines simple as opposite of complex and easy as opposite of hard.

The easiness is relative (as you described) and depends on the things you are familiar with. For example, Docker containers and k8s stuff is easy (for you), and GraphQL is hard (for you).

The simplicity should be assessed (somehow) more objectively.
