Why does using BTC still require so many steps?

Maybe I’m missing something but why is using BTC outside exchanges still so complicated?

I’ve held BTC for years but every time I look into actually using it onchain it feels like I need to learn an entirely different stack first.

Bitcoin wallets, wrapping, bridges, moving across chains, gas tokens etc.

Feels like the UX gap between “holding BTC” and “actually using BTC” is still massive for normal users.

Has anyone else felt this or am I overthinking it?
