According to whom? Distros like omv are incredibly easy and once setup basically 100% hands off and will last you for years without any proprietary shit that might break at any point after 1 year warranty expires.

People like my parents. I feel like I’m explaining in circles here lol.
OMV is not easy for the average person, you have to know how to boot and install an OS, how to access something on your network via IP, how to assign a static IP, what raid type to use (or not use), how to install and configure something like Nextcloud to access and sync files, where to store files on the filesystem, how to install and configure backups to remote storage… I could go on.
Something as common as having a Google drive type interface on a NAS is very complex with OMV and other open source options.
